Why shouldn't you get paid for your creativity?
Copyright infringement or the unauthorized use of your creative work harms you twice:
- Firstly, if you are not adequately financially compensated for your work;
- Secondly, if the buyer of the rights to your creative work sees that your work, which he has acquired from you - perhaps with exclusive rights - is being used by others on websites and social media for a wide variety of purposes (without payment and permission). Thus, the relationship of trust between you and your client is significantly disturbed, and in the worst case, you lose the buyer and client forever.
Everyone who works has a right to adequate remuneration and to the protection of their work.
