Document background
The Copyright Notice And Disclaimer is essential for any entity seeking to protect their intellectual property rights while limiting potential liability under Belgian law. This document is particularly crucial in today's digital environment where content can be easily shared and reproduced. It serves multiple purposes: asserting copyright ownership, specifying permitted and prohibited uses, and limiting liability where legally possible. The document must comply with Belgian copyright law, which has specific requirements regarding moral rights and cannot be fully disclaimed, as well as relevant EU directives. It's commonly used on websites, in software applications, publications, and other creative works where clear communication of copyright ownership and usage terms is necessary. The document should be tailored to specific use cases while maintaining compliance with Belgian legal requirements and EU regulations.
