No employee of Benny Blancos may reproduce any copyrighted work in print, video or digital form in violation of the law. Works are considered protected even if they are not registered with the U.K. Copyright Office or any registering agency outside the U.K. and even if they do not carry the copyright symbol (©). Copyrighted works include, but are not limited to: printed articles from publications, electronic articles in online publications, online videos, movies, TV and radio programs, recorded music performances, images, training materials, manuals, documentation, software programs, databases, websites and blogs. In general, the laws that apply to printed materials also apply to visual and digital formats such as websites, streaming media, music downloads, mobile apps, CDs and DVDs. 2. Benny Blancos holds an Annual Copyright License [and Multinational Copyright License] from Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), which enables employees of Benny Blancos [inside and outside] the United Kingdom to lawfully reproduce and distribute content, in print or electronic format, as needed within the company. Under the license Benny Blancos employees can copy and internally distribute excerpts from newspapers, magazines, journals and other copyright protected works as often as needed, provided that the license may not be used as a replacement for subscriptions or primary purchases of the published materials. Employees can also e-mail articles of interest to other employees, share articles by posting them on our company intranet sites, store articles in shared folders, and scan content when a digital original is not available. The license also authorizes employees to provide a single print or electronic copy to a client or prospect upon his or her direct request for further information relating to Benny Blancos products or services, and to submit copies to government agencies as required to support regulatory submissions.
