2.1.1 Who owns copyright?
Who owns copyright when a work is created?
Can copyright be shared between authors?
Can copyright be transferred to someone else?
Do I own copyright if I own a copyright work?
I wrote this article, so am I the copyright holder?
Who owns copyright in my teaching materials and in work my students produce?
Copyright does not have to be registered in the UK, but is an automatic right that comes into existence with the creation of the work in question.  Ownership of copyright can be complex as copyright is a form of property and can be disposed of in the same way as other property.
