How do you spell copyright?

C-O-P-Y-R-I-G-H-T

Copyright is spelled C-O-P-Y-R-I-G-H-T as a single word. Think of the right to copy, not the act of writing, and the spelling falls into place. Copyright and license are different things, and stock photos always involve both.

Spelling tip

One word built from copy and right; it has nothing to do with write, so copywrite is wrong.

What it means

Copyright is the legal ownership of a picture. When you download stock photos here you receive a license to use them, while the copyright stays with the site.
