Is Media From Wix Copyright Free?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:03 am

When it comes to copyright and the media you create on Wix, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First and foremost, anything you create on Wix – whether it’s a website, blog post, graphic, or even just a text document – is automatically copyrighted the moment you hit “publish.” This means that no one can use your work without your permission (unless they have a valid copyright exception).

However, just because your work is automatically copyrighted doesn’t mean that it’s completely protected. In order for your copyright to be enforceable, you need to register it with the US Copyright Office.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

This is something you can do yourself, or you can hire an attorney to do it for you. Once your copyright is registered, you can take legal action against anyone who uses your work without permission.

So what does this all mean for Wix users? Basically, it’s important to be aware that anything you create on Wix is automatically copyrighted.

However, if you want to be able to enforce your copyright, you need to register it with the US Copyright Office. This is something you can do yourself, or you can hire an attorney to do it for you.

PRO TIP: If you are using media from Wix, be aware that it may not be copyright free. Always check the terms and conditions of use for any media you obtain from Wix before using it in your own projects.

Conclusion:

Yes, media from Wix is copyright free. However, if users want to enforce their copyright, they need to register their work with the US Copyright Office.
