Content copyright must and should be respected. Before you print, use, or publish the content whose author is not you, seek the permission of the original owner.  Many authors have sued big companies for copyright infringement, a criminal offense that’s almost always against the law. To make sure you stay on the safe side, never use content that doesn’t belongs to you. However, if you still feel that you need to use the content for reasons well known to you, the best thing to do would be to seek the consent of the main author, and have them fill in a copyright release form, depending on the agreement between both of you.

Benefits of the Copyright Form Template

Legal Protection Document

A Copyright Form, regardless of the kind, is a legal document that protects someone, his content, and the right to own his content. Even the no-so-good literature work almost always have copyright rights. You cannot interfere with ownership laws, no matter how simple and straightforward or complex the laws maybe. If you must re-publish or reuse work belonging to someone else, you must write him an acknowledgment note to let him know about your intention to use his work. The author of the work will agree or disagree depending on their reasons. If they agree, they will fill a copyright release form to allow you to use the content as you wish. If they disagree, the deal ends.

Right to Content Ownership

The content of the form often guarantees that no one will steal anybody’s work. For example, the printable copyright release form for written work makes it clear that you are the author of the content in question. The form shows that you – and not another person – did the writing, that all the written materials, in whatever form, rightfully belongs to you and no one has the right to republish or reuse your work unless after being granted the permission by the official author.
