Copyright - A copyright is a legal device that gives the creator of a literary, artistic, musical, or other creative work the sole right to publish and sell that work. Copyright owners have the right to control the reproduction of their work, including the right to receive payment for that reproduction.
Public Domain - If a work is in the Public Domain, you may use it without permission. All U.S. Government publications are in the Public Domain. Works published more than 75 years ago are usually in the Public Domain.
Fair Use - Students may use portions of lawfully acquired copyrighted works in their academic multimedia projects, with proper credit and citations. This is called fair use. They may retain them in personal portfolios as examples of their academic work. Fair use ends when the multimedia creator loses control of his product's use, such as when it is accessed by others over the Internet. Educators and students need not write for permission if their presentation falls within the specific multimedia fair use guidelines.
Copyright for Multimedia Presentations Shown in a Classroom
Before using a picture, text, music, video, lyric, or illustration in a multimedia presentation, think about who owns that information and ask yourself if it's legal to use.
You may use portions of copyrighted works in your multimedia projects with proper credit and citations. You may retain them in personal portfolios as examples of your academic work.
On the Internet, there is a mix of copyrighted works and works in the public domain. Just because it is technically easy to copy a picture from the Internet, does not mean that you have the right to use it without following certain guidelines.
Works in the public domain mean you can use them without following the guidelines. However, be cautious. Some works may be posted on the Internet without authorization of the copyright holder and it may appear that the works are in the public domain.
Students can use copyrighted materials in multimedia presentations if they follow these guidelines:
*portion limits are observed
*opening slide
The first slide of your project must include a notice that the following work contains copyrighted materials that have been incorporated under the fair use exemption.
*multimedia presentation citations
You must credit sources, giving full bibliographic information when available. Copyright information for images may be shown in a separate bibliographic section.
Copyright for Internet Pages
If you are going to publish a web page, there are a lot of items that you need to consider:
