Copyright (German-UrhG)

  1. What does copyright law protect on the Internet?
    Whether online or offline, copyright protects the relationship between the author and their work, regardless of the medium. If you want to use your own or third-party content on the Internet, the guidelines and regulations of the Copyright Act (German-UrhG).
  2. If a work of literature, science or art shows a special degree of individuality and creativity, it is considered worthy of protection according to the Copyright Act. The following types of work are of particular relevance for copyright on the Internet:

    • Language works (texts, speeches and software)
    • Musical works (melodies, lyrics and sheet music)
    • Photographic works (photographs)
    • Film works (videos)
  3. Contrary to widespread opinion, works are also protected by copyright on the Internet without a copyright notice.
  4. By authorship, the creator of a work is granted various rights. The aim of this is, on the one hand, to protect the work, on the other hand, the guarantee of a financial remuneration for the exploitation.
  5. The moral rights of the author guarantee the author protection against distortion of his work. In addition, through the right to recognition of authorship, he can decide for himself whether and in what way he is associated with his creation.
  6. The exploitation rights define how the work may be used. This decision is also the sole responsibility of the author. However, there is the possibility that third parties acquire the so-called rights of use and are therefore entitled to use them.
  7. The right of reproduction and the right to make publicly available are particularly important for exploitation on the Internet.
  8. The right of reproduction (German-UrhG § 16) gives the author the right to decide whether his work will be copied and who will do so. Reproduction can be a photocopy, a print, a sound recording or a download.
  9. The distribution of a work via the Internet regulates the right to make it publicly available (German-UrhG § 19a). The paragraph includes both wired and wireless types of transmission, which is why all technical possibilities of distribution and transmission are included.
  10. If these rights are violated by a third party, the author can take legal action against this violation of copyright on the Internet. A civil law option would be a warning.
  11. When is copyright infringement on the Internet?
    In the case of a copyright infringement, it is irrelevant whether it takes place on TV, in a newspaper, at a performance or on the Internet. If the rights of the author are violated, he can take legal action.
  12. One of the most common copyright infringements on the internet is unauthorized copying. This is the case, for example, with the so-called picture theft. This is the case when third-party photographs are used on your own website, in campaigns or in online shops.
  13. In order to avoid legal consequences, which the copyright for images also provides for on the Internet in the event of legal infringements, it is important to ask the author for his permission. Especially with smaller websites or blogs, the declaration of consent is usually relatively easy to obtain, especially when there is a link to the author's website.
  14. When it comes to copyright law - especially on the Internet - the following rule should always be observed: Everything that I have not created myself is the work of a third-party author. If I want to use his works, his consent is required.
  15. Private or non-private copying of script files, images, audio files or similar without verifiable permission is strictly prohibited!
