title: Copyright protection of images in the digital environment.
abstract: All creators of copyright-protected works are re-assessing the protection and exploitation of their works in the digital environment. This article attempts to define 'digital' in a copyright context. It reminds artists and photographers of the essentials of copyright as they already apply in the UK before it looks at how those essentials may apply to images circulating in the digital environment. Finally it covers some of the key issues which artists and other creators are now having to address in their day to day work.
