Copyright a video
In our modern world, nearly everyone has a smartphone or device capable of recording high-quality video at a moment’s notice. Videos can go viral unpredictably, and if your footage gains popularity, you’ll want to ensure you’re the sole beneficiary of any success it brings. Without official proof of copyright, others could copy or download your video—whether from YouTube or another website—and profit from your work instead of you.
Although a legal copyright automatically applies to anything you create, you must still be able to prove that you’re the rightful owner and demonstrate when you made or first published it. Typically, only content that generates revenue draws attention from unauthorized users, so it’s wise to secure solid ownership and a clear creation date through a copyright deposit, such as the one offered by Copyright.uk.
We Can Keep Your Video Ownership Rights Safe
In the United Kingdom, copyright protection for your video is granted automatically if you’re its creator. However, should someone contest your ownership, you’ll need to prove that you produced the video first. The services available from Copyright.uk allow you to store your work in a tamper-proof repository, establishing a clear record of both your authorship and the video’s creation date.
When you deposit your video with Copyright.uk, you accomplish two things: you confirm that you are the owner of the footage, and you set a verifiable date to prove your priority. The protection is immediate, and your deposit acts as an official witness to your rightful claim. Because the files are stored by legal officers under strict regulations, your video remains unalterable and securely archived. You can retrieve it at any time, but otherwise, it’s kept private and protected. Furthermore, once you make a copyright deposit in the UK with Copyright.uk, your rights extend to all 171 nations adhering to the Berne Convention—ensuring international protection for your video.
