PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENTS

What you need to know about content licensing?

• Different types of imagery

• Copyright

• Legal Protection

• Free images and Creative Commons

two main types, royalty-free and rights-managed.

What is copyright?

• Copyright is a form of protection provided by the law to the authors of “original works of authorship.” By virtue of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, works are protected in all 160 countries that are party to the Convention, as well as various other laws such as the US copyright act.

What is copyright infringement?

Infringement can include a violation of the rights of the creator or rights holder. Examples of imagery infringement may include:

•• Use of whole or part of an image without permission

•• Use beyond the scope of a license or permission

•• Adapting an image without permission (art rendering)

•• Asking another photographer to identically recreate the image

I’m using an image I found through a Google Image search. If it’s on the

internet, doesn’t that mean it’s free?

• No. Just because an image is on the internet, it doesn’t mean the image is free to use. You may still need the correct license to use it. There is a difference between an image being online and an image being “in the public domain” (the term given to content that is not owned or controlled by anyone).

I’m just a blogger and my site is non-commercial. Can I use images for free?

• In most cases, no. Unless your use is specifically permitted by copyright law, all the images on your website must be properly licensed, regardless of the nature of your site. You can, however, license very inexpensive images from many imagery providers that are perfect for web use and will be properly licensed.

How can I be sure I’ve taken the appropriate steps in licensing an

image?

• SEARCH FOR INFORMATION AND REFERENCES ON THE WEB

• TRY TO FIND POTENTIAL CONTENT DISTRIBUTORS AND CONTENT BROKERS TO CROSS-CHECK YOUR ISSUE

• TALK TO EXPERTS IN THE FIELD (IE. LAWYERS)
