Further, you can copyright individual material you have created and signal that your website as a whole is copyrighted. However, there are mistakes you must avoid when copyrighting your website. This is because you want to ensure that you have copyrighted it correctly to avoid confusion or conflict. This article will first define copyright and then outline mistakes to avoid when copyrighting your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is Copyright?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copyright is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/intellectual-property\/copyright-protection\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">automatic protection<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that applies to original works under these categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the typographical layout of published works;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sound recordings;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">films; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">communication works.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copyright is an intellectual property tool, but you cannot register copyright, unlike other intellectual property tools in New Zealand. This means that as the copyright owner, it is up to you to signal that your work is original and belongs to you. You can do this by using the \u00a9 symbol and communicating your rights to others if you think they have infringed them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your rights and protections as a copyright owner are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">exclusive access to your material;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the right to define who else can access your material; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">legal protection.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The copyright owner is usually the creator, but there are some circumstances where this can change. For example, if your employer hires you to create the copyrighted material, they will likely be the owner. This should be outlined in any employment contract you have.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Avoid Copyrighting Your Website Incorrectly<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Protecting your website from being copied can be challenging. Even though copyright protection is automatic in New Zealand, it is good to include the \u00a9 symbol where possible. It is also a good idea to have a copyright notice somewhere visible on your website. This can look like \u2018COPYRIGHT 2021 [insert copyright holder details]\u2019. This will prevent people from overstepping your copyright. Other countries may not have the same automatic copyright protection, so a copyright notice like this will help protect your website internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can also consider embedding restrictions so that others cannot save or copy your website&#8217;s content. This could involve hiding the source code or functionality of your website. You can do this yourself if you know how or hire someone else to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white no-underline
