Is painting your passion or your profession?
Where do inspiration end and plagiarism begin? When is it possible to say that someone else’s work has been stolen? Claiming to be an artist, the author of the work, when in fact the only contribution was to copy the efforts of others: you have certainly heard of similar stories or perhaps even been a victim of these situations.
In the creative and competitive art world, it is important to plan to establish proof of authorship. This will limit the risk of unauthorised exploitation by a third party.
Copyright for paintings. Protecting a creation has never been easier.
How to protect a painting as effectively as possible?
Copyright law grants protection to any intellectual work without distinction as to the genre, form of expression, merit, or purpose. Artistic works, including paintings, benefit from copyright law simply by their creation, subject to their originality.
However, how do you prove that the work was created on a specific date? And by whom? These are major questions that will arise in the event of disputes, for example, concerning a copy or an inspiration bordering on plagiarism.
The most effective way to do this is to file a bailiff’s deposit, and there are services such as Copyright.eu that can save you time and trouble.

All you have to do is take photographs of your paintings, whether they are finished or not,at home or in your studio, and then upload the photos online to have them dated.
