What is the difference between the ownership of an artefact and the ownership of copyright?
• There is an important difference between the two: For example, if a letter is written for someone, the owner of the letter will be the person who received it. However, the copyright in the letter will be owned by the person who originally wrote the letter (literary copyright). • So, this means that if you receive a deposit of letters, they are likely to be from the owners of the letters, rather than the owners of the copyright in them (i.e. this means that they cannot be reproduced without the permission of the copyright owner).
