The Zine Maker’s Guide to Copyright

Let's talk about zines and the law! In this video I will break down what copyright means, the conditions of creative commons, how to navigate fair use, and why you should never use real names in your zines. To learn more about copyright laws, check out the resources I linked below!

    I'd like to second the "don't mess with Disney IP" advice. A few years back a couple who had lost their 4 year old asked Disney if they could put Winnie the Pooh, her favourite character, on her tombstone, and they said NO. Plus their lobbying efforts are the reason copyright lasts as long as it does on an IP in the States. They don't mess around.

    If you use Word for your text, you just need to do (c) and it turns it into the copyright symbol.

    The "You wouldn't steal a car!!" ads actually led to more piracy happening, because people saw them and were like "wait... I can pirate content for free?"

    I really enjoyed your video, and it provided me with the information I needed. Thank you for creating it, and for the companion zine - I plan to get it. I am new to zines and am currently brainstorming ideas for my first one. I am considering creating a perzine that will include stories about how I am the "black sheep" of my family. I have a question: if I refer to family members like my mom or dad as "Mom" or "Dad," is that a problem? Also, what about aunts or uncles? I have several, and although they are related, they are different from each other. If they read my zine (which is highly unlikely), they would know which family member I am talking about. These stories require mentioning family members by their relation to me, or the stories would not make sense. In other words, I cannot call my dad "Bill," but I could call an aunt "Aunt [fake name]." I will not be using my legal name in these zines, as I do not use it anywhere where it is not legally required. I have not decided whether to use my pen name or the name I use on KZread, but either way, only some people in my immediate circle would know who authored the zines. I can think of only one person who might know some of the stories, but they have never met any of my extended family.

    Thanks for watching! And welcome to the zine community ✂️🫂 I’d say you’re fine to refer to your family. I talk about my parents in my zines all the time and they don’t even read my zines but even if they did I doubt they’d sue me for it. If you want to change names of family go for it!! Whatever helps you tell your story (which you are allowed to share) Like I said I’m no law expert I’m just giving general tips. I talk about my family a lot in my zines and literally no one bats an eye. Use your best judgement on that. If your family is potentially vindictive, I’d lean on the side of changing names and relations to you. Don’t overthink it! Your story is valid and you should tell it without fear. Have fun!! Your zine idea sounds great 👍🏽🖤 I know a lot of people who may read it will be able to relate

    I am making a zine where I recommend music so I am having the album covers in the zine. Would that be against copy right, and would it be best to like trace over it or try draw it myself to avoiud that?

    If you think you’d be making tremendous profit off it or claim the images as your own then I’d avoid. But if you draw your own versions that’s totes fine!! You can probably even get away with using the actual album covers if you say “inspired by” the artists. But just do what you’re comfy with!! ☺️
