Adding Copyright to Your Camera

I know that most people know how to do this but I saw Steve Perry had posted a new YouTube video on how it is done and I thought it worth sharing in case there might be some that did not know how to do this. There was one recommendation he made that I was not doing. It was about adding my name to the copyright field.

@Danno, I just got that notification, and I still haven't done it yet.

I hear you. This was a good reminder. I also learned something new watching this. I never thought about putting my name in the Copyright field. I do not think I have ever done that so I added my name to the copyright field as well as the artist field.

Actually, I wrote wrong. I have my copyright in there and artist's name, just didn't change it for 2020. Every year, I forget even when reminded.
 

All rights reserved​

Sometimes you will see the phrase "all rights reserved" as part of a copyright notice. For example: "© 2021 Stephen King. All rights reserved."

This means that no one may use your work unless they obtain your permission. This statement is not legally required, and failure to include it has no legal significance. Since others may not use copyrighted works without the copyright holder's permission, the statement is redundant.

If you include the statement "no rights reserved," it means that you are permitting anyone else to use your work. This is occasionally done when the work is being published for some charitable or public-interest purpose, and the creator wants it to be available for general use by others.

Although the phrase "all rights reserved" is not required, there is no harm in adding it. Someone unfamiliar with copyrights may see this phrase and be deterred from copying the work.
