"Imagination,"
said George Bernard Shaw, "is the beginning of
creation". The ability to imagine is what sparks off ideas or feelings,
which might then be transformed into a painting, a sculpture, a novel
or a piece of music. Copyright protects the expression of the
idea and encourages people to 'create'.
The
copyright does not imply that we don't share materials with others; the
media, companies, organisations and individuals. Rather, the copyright
allows us to
control the manner in which the materials are used and represented to
the public. Material is shared on a case-by-case basis and becomes more
liberal as a good two-way relationship is developed.
We will not allow gross mis-representation of an art work, and expect
credit where credit is due. It is not too much to
ask that proper credit be clearly given to
the artist.
In most cases, copyright will be given in some way, usually limited, to
an occassion or some in-house usage.
