What is "free pitching" and how does it effect the industry as a whole? 
Free pitching is when someone provides their design services without payment. As a whole free pitching is bad for the design industry. If we start to hand out our ideas for free it lowers the worth of our ideas. 

Why is it important to have a code of ethics in the Graphic Design industry? 
Ethics is important because it is the moral standing of any topic. In terms of graphic design it comes down to our practice and professionalism. 

What is the difference between a copyright and a trademark or patent? 
A copyright focuses on the ownership of books and artworks. A trademark focuses on the ownership of logos or brand identies. A patent is vaguely a licence granted by the government. 

What measures do you need to take as a freelance designer to protect your creative output?
