Protecting You As A Member And Your Written And Performed Work
Safe Sharing Environment:
Knowledge of legalities fosters a secure and respectful online community for sharing literary works.
When an author shares their own poem on an online platform, they generally retain full copyright over their work.
This grants them exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their own poetry.
Retention of Copyright:
You retain full copyright over your own poems when sharing them on Poets Built It Online Community.
This is an Non- Exclusive Rights Platform. This means as the creator and author of your poetry, you are the owner of your poetry as "the property holder".
It means Poets Built It as a charity and none of it other members can use your poetry without gaining your permission first, or crediting you as the author and owner of the poem.
