Register your works in the U.S. Copyright Office from Safe Creative
Marta Palacio
Now you can register your works in the U.S. Copyright Office, easily from your Safe Creative account.
All copyright registrations are filed on your behalf, in your name and are issued directly to you.
With Safe Creative you can manage all information, security and self-management of copyright of your works from a single service.
U.S. citizens are required to register before filing a lawsuit for copyright infringement. If a work is registered either before the infringement takes place or within 3 months of publication then, in the U.S., the copyright holder is eligible for both statutory damages, which can reach $150,000 per infringement, and attorney’s fees. Even though non-citizens can sue for for copyright infringement in the U.S. without a registration being filed, they are only able to claim actual damages, which is the greater of what the copyright holder lost or the infringer gained from the use of the work. In many cases that amount is effectively zero. So if you might ever have cause to sue in the U.S. you should register your work in a timely manner so that you have all of your rights at your disposal.
Safe Creative charges a modest service fee ($25) plus the cost of the copyright office filing fee of $35, but the free account include a registration service for free (only office filing fee), the premium account offers 3 free register operations per year, and the professional account: 6

Newsletter about statistics and some news
Mario Pena
We have been focused on new and interesting features to be added to the professional services you might start hiring for the symbolic starting price of just 24 euros per year (premium service).
Among these features I wanted to let you know that statistics are available again. With the free basic service you will see the totals and you might check the “view” link of particular works to see the individual figures.
And if you have the premium service already you will be able to see the graphics and other interesting information. We will be adding more interesting statistical information in the near future.
Also remember that you can use CreativePeople to promote your work. For this reason you might activate your public profile in your Safe Creative account so that other users may see your other works and if you allow it they might contact you.
¡Hey! And Talentyart joins our partners’ family. Check out this interesting project.

Legal assistance now available
Marta Palacio
With this new service, Safe Creative offers a complete platform for creative professionals.
In addition to registration and reporting systems to assert copyright information and the platform to sell and license creative works, authors can now access a legal assistance service. They can state their own queries to get the legal guidance of copyright lawyers, request assisted drafting of contracts to license rights, and consult the legal advice database on the most relevant copyright issues raised.
The service, which at launch costs €60 a year, covers the Spanish jurisdiction, and it will be covering to other jurisdictions in the future.

Welcome to Creative People
Safe Creative
Safe Creative has opened a window for those creators using its oline registry.
Authors asked for it.
They needed a more practical search system.
What better than an online shop window?
Welcome to CreativePeople
By visiting Creative People (dot) sc you can view all the works registered as public with permited download.
If you see something you like, you can vote for it, and so the page will be changing to show the most valued creations.
The search box shows different kind of works: music, literature, artistic, video and others, to find, among them, the one you really need.
You might also locate those works to buy copies of and or to directly license them with the rights holders by going back to Safe Creative’s independent sale and licensing platform.
Now artists gain visibility and will be valued by CreativePeople’s visitors. The TOP-10 will show the most valued ones. Therefore it’s very important that all works are correctly labeled as the type of works they really are so people will find what they are looking for.
Now the creators that register with Safe Creative are Creative People.

Open Your Works to Others to License Them
Mario Pena
Can you imagine your picture being used in a great magazine about travels? What about your music being used in the next Hollywood’s blockbuster? And your 3D character playing the major role in the next mythic video game that will transform the way we understand games from then on?
For many this used to only be dreams, or at best only possible if being part of a big company. But sometimes being bound to a company meant losing much control on copyrights together with that a lot of potential income middlemen would keep.
Now things have changed. With the arrival of the Internet and all kinds of digital tools you are, or can be, part those great creators who can try different ways to make their work popular and profitable.
But how can you safely license your works when requested? Do you have to hire very expensive lawyers? Do you have to study copyright law to create your own licenses? May you trust licensing agreements found in the web?
You can avoid many those troubles by using the new licensing and direct selling platform Safe Creative provides. And it is suitable for ebooks, pictures, music, videos and any other content you have registered.
All you have to do is to enable from your “My works” view in Safe Creative the “selling and licensing” feature for the work(s) you want, or do so if somebody contacts you to license one. Then you can either use the selling/licensing specific labels to embed in any of your web pages you show your works at, or provide the selling/licensing link to your work directly at your registration information page.
From then on you will be able to negotiate the best licensing agreement with the warranty of it being legally consistent and being paid for it.
And of course the system can also be used through our API too.
Are you ready to open your chances to soon walk the red carpet?

Contest Sponsorship by Safe Creative
Mario Pena
Safe Creative can help you with the contests for creative authors you are thinking of, being both a sponsor and/or offering the right tools to contribute to the success of it.
Safe Creative proposes you to tell us your project, and if we like it and suits our vision and project, we will help you sponsoring at least part of it. Don’t doubt it, contact us and let’s talk. We want to know about it.
But besides that, Safe Creative offers to any other contest very important tools. We describe two of them:
1.- If you are organizing the contests, you can add in the rules the need of the work to be registered with Safe Creative, creating therefore an independent authorship claim proof. This will avoid, as much as possible, for you to get works not created by the ones who send them. Creating this proof in our servers means that you have an electronic secure statement. This proof is so strong it’s virtually invulnerable.
2.- If you are taking part in contests, whether the registration in Safe Creative is or not in the rules, you might better register with us to avoid any plagiarism or work misuse temptation . Create your free of charge authorship proof requesting contests to respect your copyrights, although you might perfectly give them specific rights to use the work.
Safe Creative is the independent and neutral platform that gives tools for anybody and is very interested into encouraging creativity. Since contests are essential for the promotion of creativity, what are you waiting for to tell us your project?
