What is Copyright?Copyright is the exclusive right to produce copies and to control an original literary, musical, or artistic work, granted by law for a specified number of years (in Britain, usually 70 years from the death of the author, composer, artist, academic or from the date of publication if later)
Copyright is a legal means of protecting an author's work. It is a type of intellectual property that provides exclusive publication, distribution, and usage rights for the author. This means whatever content the author created cannot be used or published by anyone else without the consent of the author.
So how do you obtain copyright protection? Fortunately, in most countries, copyright protection is automatic. This means whenever you publish original content, it is automatically protected by copyright law
Cont…In situations where it is critical to protect an author's rights, many countries provide copyright registration, which allows authors to register copyrighted content with a central agency. This makes it easier to prove ownership of content if it is ever disputed.
Copyright provides a helpful means of protecting original content. It serves to give people credit for the work they do, which is something we can all appreciate. Therefore, if you ever consider copying someone else's content, think of how it would make you feel if someone copied your original work and published it as their own. If you ever would like to use another person's content, make sure to ask the author for permission first.
And always give credit where credit is due.
ImagesCopyright law applies to all manner of materials and applies not just to printed publishing, but to digital publishing as well, including photographic images and digital graphic art work.
The web is a freely available, highly accessible medium, and inherently a sharing technology, where it is very easy to copy and republish material without thinking about copyright. It is also a very big space indeed. All this makes it very difficult to police.
A Google image search can quickly find you images you might think will be appropriate to use on your own pages to decorate them or to illustrate what you are saying in text, but you must always be aware of copyright ownership and not assume because something is easy to find and copy from a web page that it is OK to steal someone else’s work.
Cont.The term images covers a wide range of works, including: photographs, paintings and drawings, diagrams, graphics, maps, sculpture, charts, tables and graphs. They may exist in a digital or a non-digital format.
Images are protected for the lifetime of the creator, e.g. the artist or photographer, and for 70 years after his/her death.
If the image is still in copyright, there are also likely to be moral rights in it, protecting the creator from the work being subject to derogatory treatment. Care should be taken to ensure that any use or copying of an image does not infringe these rights, e.g. by cropping an image or amending it in any way.
Copying images: Fair Trade (JISC)Where the Guide states that a type of copying is Fair Dealing, note that the following caveats always apply:
Purpose: The purpose of the copying must be for research or private study of individuals, for reporting current events, or for criticism or review.
The purpose may not be other purposes, such as for commercial exploitation, whether direct or indirect. If you wish to copy for teaching purposes, you should obtain legal advice (it may, for example, be allowed under the database part of the law ), or check the terms of any licences the institution may have.
Quantity: Only single copies are permitted. Multiple copying always requires permission.
Further Copying: Where the making of one original copy (paper or electronic) is considered fair dealing, the making of subsequent copies (paper or electronic) from that original is not.
Free Copying There exist a number of sources which provide free digital images, often specifically for educational purposes. Check the site’s terms and conditions to ensure that your use and purpose are covered, and include any appropriate acknowledgements, copyright statements etc. as required by the source.

Crown Copyright Crown copyright applies to all copyright works produced by employees of the Crown in the course of their duties, e.g. Acts of Parliament, Codes of Practice, Government Circulars etc. Crown copyright also applies to works produced by Parliament before 1st August 1989.
Parliamentary applies to all copyright works produced by or under the direction or control of Parliament, e.g. Hansard (Lords and Commons), Bills, White and Green Papers, reports of Select Committees etc.
It subsists only in works produced after 1st August 1989: works produced before that date are Crown copyright.
Both are administered by Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI).
Free Copyright ImagesFor copyright free images, there are loads of sites, but some good ones are:
Wikimedia Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Flicker CC https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
Pixabay http://pixabay.com/
Everystockphoto http://www.everystockphoto.com/
pulling things from journal articles, like charts, you are generally allowed to reuse for educational purposes, as long as you attribute it and a lot of the databases allow you pull off images with the reference attached. If you are using something from a web page, you should check for Creative Commons first and if not, seek permission from the owner to use it.
Most will have contact details somewhere or a copyright statement. For example the BBC are usually happy to allow educational re-use, but they don’t always own the image themselves.
Always best to check than be caught out!!

If in doubt don’t use it!!You also cannot assume that an image you find on a website has not itself been copied illegally. For this reason, if, after contacting the website owner to obtain permission, you are not completely certain who owns the copyright on an image or other item, you should not use it.
