Legal and business considerations exist from the moment an artist conceives a work |
Laws vary between countries across the world.
While many countries have laws which are pretty similar in many respects as to principles, the details of what is legal in specific countries can vary significantly.

A particular example is the VAT which applies to all digital products and services sold to people who live in the EU. |
If you need professional legal advice you need to consult and pay a professional lawyer.
My aim is ONLY to highlight the circumstances where that might be advisable from a common sense perspective. |
