Rights statements vs. Access Statements● Legal status of an
item
● Rights status of original work
● Creative Commons
● How to responsibly use an item
● Reuse status of digital object
● Rightsstatements.org
Often the original work and digital object will have the same statement but this is not always the case!

Why do we need to clearly communicate rights status?

Avoid unintentional (or not) copyfraud● Often well meaning (not always)
but incorrect claims about copyright
● Confusion about what is or is not covered by copyright
● Blanket statements
● U.S. vs international rules
● Asserting rights when there is none OR making it more open than rights allow
