Copyright for Students

undefinedDo Not Fall into These Copyright Traps:

  • Copying items for personal use
  • Sharing copyrighted materials online
  • Not citing sources for a class assignment
  • Ignoring Creative Commons' license requirements (like attribution)
  • Creating and publishing a derivative work (ex. a translation, a film based on literary material, art reproduction, etc.)
  • Thinking that if it’s available on the web or not marked with a © it isn’t copyrighted and free for anyone to use
