Writing is always ‘writing’, yet it is amazing how many times I get asked to do some ‘copyrighting’ or asked ‘who owns the copywrite?’ So here’s a quick explanation of these common terms…
copyright – protection of materials (e.g. articles, books, songs, photos, designs) by giving only the owner the right to copy the materials
copywrite - the act of writing text for a brochure, article, website, ad, etc (copy being a common term for the text in these items)
