Content on the web

Using materials from the Internet

Copyright law governs the use of materials you might find on the Internet, just as it governs the use of books, video or music in the analog world

Copyright protection

Many people assume that everything posted on the Internet is public domain, probably because our law used to protect published works only if they displayed the proper copyright notice upon publication.

Implied and express licenses to use internet materials

Whenever an author posts anything on the Internet, he or she should reasonably expect that it will be read, downloaded, printed out, forwarded, and even used as the basis for other works to some degree. So, just by posting, an author impliedly grants a limited license to use her work in this manner.
