3. Application and use of copyright
First of all, the creator should establish a correct awareness of copyright protection, and after completing the work, the creator can go to the copyright registration hall of the China Copyright Protection Center to register the copyright, or submit the registration application materials to the Copyright Registration Department of the China Copyright Protection Center by mail.

2) Proof of identity of the applicant;
3) Proof of ownership of rights;
4) Samples of works (paper or electronic media samples can be submitted);
5) Description of the work (please write from the three aspects of creative intention, creative process, and originality, and sign by the author);
6) When entrusting another person to apply on behalf of the applicant, the ** person shall submit the power of attorney of the applicant;
7) Proof of identity of the person.
2. Handling steps:
The applicant submits the registration application materials -- the registration authority verifies the receipt materials -- notifies the payment of the fee -- the applicant pays the registration fee -- the registration authority accepts the application -- examines -- makes and issues the registration certificate -- announces.

Secondly, when using the works of others, the basic principle of copyright protection should be followed, that is, the authorization of the creator should be obtained before using the work of others. At the same time, the results of others' creative labor should also be respected, and the name of the author and the title of the work should be indicated when using the works of others; However, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or cannot be specified due to the specificity of the way in which the work is to be used. In addition, the original work must not be altered by distorting or tampering with the original work to cause readers to misinterpret the work and the author's ideological views, and the focus should be on protecting the identity of the author's thoughts and the ideas expressed in the work, and protecting the integrity of the work.
The role of copyright content platforms
The legal and compliant copyright content service platform plays an important role in the entire copyright content ecosystem, forming a complete closed loop from creator content production, content operation, copyright confirmation, copyright protection to copyright authorization, and promoting the healthy development of the entire copyright content ecology.
The platform is not a producer of content, but a converging and servant. It should be emphasized here that when collecting copyrighted creative content, most of the digital content platforms do not "sell copyrights" to users after obtaining the copyright, except for explicit purchase and transfer of copyright by the creator. Instead, it obtains the copyright property right authorization of the content provided by the creator, and authorizes the creator's copyrighted content to others on its own platform, and the copyright is still in the hands of the creator.
Including watermarks, many netizens mistakenly think that the watermarking agency has the copyright, but in fact, domestic and foreign galleries and news agencies will watermark the materials of their own libraries, which is a common practice in the copyright content industry, in order to prevent **, and other materials from being copied, misappropriated or tampered with without authorization.
Summary. Copyright protection is not only the protection of the rights and interests of creators, but also the key to promoting cultural prosperity and scientific and technological progress. With the development of science and technology and the advent of the first era, copyright protection is facing new opportunities and challenges. As creators, while raising awareness of copyright protection, they should also understand relevant laws and regulations and ways to protect their rights, so as to enhance their ability to protect themselves. As a user, you should use the works of others reasonably and legally, respect the intellectual property rights of others, and avoid unnecessary disputes and penalties; As a platform, it should provide creators and users with high-quality copyright trading services, do a good job in its own content operation, provide creators with creative monetization opportunities, and provide users with safe copyright content. Let's work together to create a creative environment that respects knowledge and stimulates innovation.
