Develop a corporate copyright policy. Laws and technology will change, but it is best to establish some parameters for your company early, then modify them as clarity is brought to the many issues surrounding copyright. Moreover, even where the law is vague, honoring copyright is a matter of respect and integrity. It is also a matter that can affect both corporate image in the marketplace and corporate standing, should your company seek to protect its own materials against copyright infringement. Involve everyone who has an interest in using copyrighted information.
Different organizations have different requirements and perspectives.
Publish your copyright policy and keep your constituency well informed. Do not allow ignorance to be an excuse. Be sure to circulate your copyright policy both electronically and by posting it near photocopiers and scanners. Ensure protection of information created within your company. Post a copyright notice on your Web site and on all original works created inside your company.
