Copyright

Automatic upon creation: texts, code, photos, design, music, video. Not protected: ideas, facts, algorithms as concepts, official documents. No registration needed — but a deposit certificate helps prove the date.

By default the author holds the rights. In the contract specify: which rights transfer (economic), for what term, what territory, exclusive or not, remuneration. 'Paid for it' ≠ 'client owns it'.

Steps: fix evidence (notarized page inspection or timestamped screenshot) → demand letter → DMCA to hoster/platform → claim for infringement + compensation.

Attribution quote — a small excerpt for critical purposes. Web photos — only licensed (CC, purchased). 'Free online' ≠ 'free to take'. Fonts and music need separate licenses.

A work needs a human author — pure AI output isn't copyright-protected in most jurisdictions. AI as a tool + human input = protection possible. Service terms matter more than 'who generated it'.
