week 3 Contracts and copywright.

Contracts are used to maintain protection between both parties. Contracts are especially important for artists cause what can happen is they would be exploited by employers or clients seeing the artist would tend to do it more for the love of the artwork and would tend to ignore how much time and effort they'd put into the art piece. When signing a contract make sure you observe the scope and see what your responsibilities will be.


In contracts what should especially observe the copyright. An example is when  Hardaway was old, he tried to get some credit for making his character, which he probably deserved but Warner bros owned the right to everything he created. John Lasseter, J. L. (1989). Animato. If we want to share our work with family or friends we should be careful to observe the copyright and what rights we have to the work we create.
