Infringement is when somebody uses your original copyrighted work without your permission or if somebody is misusing your work. Sending a letter of infringement is a way for you to let the infringer know that they have done wrong and that you will be taking action. This article will take you through what to include in your copyright infringement letter and some common mistakes that copyright owners make.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copyright<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have created original work, copyright may automatically protect it. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/intellectual-property\/copyright-protection\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copyright protects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> work that falls under these categories:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the typographical layout of published editions;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sound recordings;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">films; and&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">communication works.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copyright creators are usually the copyright owners, but there are some circumstances where an employer can be the copyright owner.

So, you must be sure of the details of the infringement and the details of the perpetrator. You may find it hard to determine who infringed on your rights and who the letter should be sent to, especially if it was online.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As copyright infringement is a legal matter, it is best to seek legal advice. The letter will usually set out your legal claim against the other party, so you may need a lawyer to help you do this.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/intellectual-property\/employee-infringed-copyright\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The severity of copyright infringement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> often depends on how much of your material the other party used. You should also consider whether the use of your work was under any copyright exceptions. There are copyright exceptions for librarians, educators and archivists. Copyright exceptions also include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">research or private study;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">criticism;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">review; or<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">news reporting.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any use under these permitted acts must classify as fair dealing. The exact nature of this will depend on the context of the use but will consider factors such as your purpose and the amount you copied.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n

Examples of remedies you could include are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Infringement stops. You can direct the infringer to stop using all of your material and either return it to you or destroy it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Financial compensation. You can request payment for the use of your work or their gain or your loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Entering into an agreement. You could impose a licence or assignment agreement on them.
