Writing a license agreement for my stock footage - where do I start?
<p>I have no background in law. </p>

<p>I capture drone footage as a hobby, and want to license it to my local church for use in some of their non-commercial video productions. I want to ensure that they are not allowed to resell it, distribute/share it, use without permission etc etc without obtaining permission from myself. </p>

<p>I am supplying the footage on a hard drive, and am including a copyright notice on the disk (I shall also be drawing their attention to it via email). </p>

<p>What can I do to ensure my footage is covered appropriately? Do I need to write a license agreement? Are you able to point me towards a fully formed license agreement template which I can use? Would it be better to just write an extended copyright notice which details that the footage may not be used without permission? </p>

<p>I am fully aware of the Creative Commons licenses, but these allow the footage to be used by others which is something I want to restrict (almost open-sourcing the footage).</p>

<p>You just wrote it. A licence agreement specifies what they are allowed to do with your copyright material - your question says what you will allow.</p>
