Copyright is no joke!
Keith Chegwin has been criticised for posting “his” jokes on Twitter but allegedly “his” jokes were plagiarised from other comedians jokes.
By allegedly using other comedians jokes Keith Chegwin violated a “gentleman's agreement” amongst the comedy fraternity not to copy each other’s jokes.
A joke can be copyrighted but of course it would have to be original.
If you have original material that you would like to protect from infringement give Luke English of Kaslers Solicitors a call on 01732 897976
