Document background
The Cease And Desist Letter Copyright Infringement Photography is a critical legal instrument used in Australia when photographic works are being used without proper authorization or license. This document is typically employed when there is clear evidence of copyright infringement and the rights holder wishes to take formal action while avoiding immediate litigation. It operates under the framework of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) and related Australian legislation, incorporating specific references to photographic works protection. The letter should be used when unauthorized use is discovered and after documenting the infringement but before initiating court proceedings. It includes detailed identification of the copyrighted work, evidence of ownership, specific instances of infringement, and clear demands for cessation of unauthorized use. The document serves both as a formal warning and as potential evidence in any subsequent legal proceedings in Australian courts.
