Copyright Law
What is a Copyright?
Copyright law protects the individual's right to control the use of their intellectual property. Copyright law applies to literature, music, lyrics, plays, choreography, pictures, photos, sculptures, graphics, movies, audiovisual works and sound recordings.
Copyright and trademark infringement can result in lawsuits. Copyright law was created to protect the artist, the creator, or the holder of the copyright from unlawful use of their material. The responsible student journalist needs to understand copyright law in order to avoid costly fines and/or delays in publication.
The Copyright Law chapter provides valuable information concerning general copyright and trademark law related to content used in your yearbook.

The Yearbook Sales chapter will give you ideas on how to sell your yearbook to your students and your local community, for example:
- When do I start selling the yearbook?

Marketing Your Yearbook
Promotion is the key and parents are interested at the beginning of the school year.
Advertise with posters, stickers, and personalized order forms.
Offer additional items such as Flashbax®, foil personalization, and icons. Hold a special design cover contest to showcase the winner's artwork. Other entries become a back cover collage or feature backgrounds within the book.
