Since hardwares themselves can’t be copyrighted or trademarked, does that mean I can make original pictures, videos, and audio recordings with it for commercial purposes without infringing anything?
Hello Sean, in the U.S:
- You can create original content for commercial purposes.
- The copyright is yours when you create it.
- Just make sure not to infringe on others' copyrighted material.
Always consult with a legal professional for your specific situation.
Even with the hardwares like a computer, iphone, ipad, or android?
Yes, Sean. The hardware you use to create content doesn't affect your copyright ownership. However, ensure the content itself is original and doesn't infringe on others' rights.
So there isn’t a fee or permissible request required regarding the hardware?
That's correct, Sean. In the U.S, there are no fees or permissions required for using hardware like computers or smartphones to create original content. Always ensure your content is original and non-infringing.
Does this include microphones and headsets with microphones?
Yes, Sean. This includes microphones and headsets with microphones. As long as the content you create is original, you own the copyright, no matter the hardware used. Always avoid infringing on others' rights.
