1. Register all your images with the LOC in a timely and consistent manner.
ASMP: Copyright Application Tutorial
2. Have your contract reviewed by a copyright lawyer to address the loopholes
(Expressly prohibit use by anyone other than party named on your agreement. Expressly exclude co-op ads, marketing & promotions- etc.)
3. Be prepared to respond in a professional manner and hold accountable every party using your property without authorization. This includes:
Establishing in advance business policies on how to manage each occurrence.
Not waiting for infringement to occur to establish a relationship with a Copyright attorney.
Using only an attorney who specializes in copyright law.
Accepting this process as a standard business policy, like collecting State taxes.
