UNDERSTAND
•Copyright protects literary works,
photographs, paintings, drawings, films,
music(lyrics), choreography… but it does
NOT protect underlying ideas and facts.
•You can express something using your own
words, but you should give credit to the
source.
BE RESPONSIBLE
•Even if a material does not say anything that
it is copyrighted, it is not a valid defense
against copyright.
•Be responsible enough to know if
something has a copyright.
BE CREATIVE
•Ask yourself whether what you are making
is something that came from you or
something made from somebody else’s
creativity.
•It is important to add your own creative
genius in everything that will be credited to
you.
KNOW THE LAW
•There are some limitations to copyright
laws.
•Copyrights only last a lifetime (of the
author) plus 50 years.
KNOW THE LAW
•“Fair Use” which means that an intellectual
property may be used without a consent as
long as it is used in commentaries,
cristicisms, search engines, parodies, news
reports, research, library archiving, teaching
and education.
KNOW THE LAW
•(DOUBT?) seek permission first!
