Historically there has been a lack of information available to translators and interpreters on the topic of copyright, despite this area being a growing concern for many working in the profession. 

With the increase in remote interpreting, many interpreters are now concerned about unpaid or poorly paid use of their voices and images. Meanwhile many translators continue to have concerns about how, when and if copyright passes from one party to the other.
