How do you ensure that you don't infringe copyright in your work?
As I write fiction it's not hard to ensure it's all my own words. When I want to directly reference or allude to someone else's work, I try to make it clear that's happening. If I quote someone verbatim, e. song lyrics, I flag it for my editors to confirm I'm covered by Fair Dealing under UK copyright law (which is more restrictive than US law).
