How does copyright work on a website?

If you have a website with original content, your content is automatically protected by copyright. This protection means that others can't lawfully use the original text, images, videos, or music on the site without your permission. If they do, you have a claim for copyright infringement.

Is copying website content legal?

If you copy elements from another website, not only do you risk infringing their trade mark, but you also run the risk of infringing their copyright. Copying and republishing parts of a website without the permission of the copyright owner will generally constitute copyright infringement.

What does it mean when a website has copyright at the bottom?

A website — graphics, content, visual elements — is copyrighted at the time of development. So putting the copyright notice on the bottom of a site states that the material displayed is not to be used without permission of the owner.
