How Internet copyright legislation affects you

What you need to know

Intellectual Property.gov.uk sums up UK Internet copyright law as: "material sent over the Internet or stored on web servers will generally be protected in the same way as material in other media", and that one must have the owner's permission to use it.

Therefore, any material that you own the copyright for and put on the Internet is protected from others using it without permission. And the reverse applies as well - if you come across something on the Internet, you cannot use it without observing the owner's copyright terms.
