It is a Law that was brought in to protect people’s
creative work: writers, artists, film producers,
photographers, designers, sculptures etc. It enables
them to control the way their work is exploited.
Copyright law tries to make it easy to protect
original work yet at the same time allow users to
access it.

Yes it does, from two different aspects.
Firstly it allows you to protect your original creative
work so that you are not exploited by other.
Secondly it protects others from you using their
work. This includes pictures and text you may find
on the internet, software or even parts of text books
or newspapers you may wish to copy.
Remember someone owns it and they deserve the
same protection as you do!

This can happen if you do not seek permission from
the copyright owner and copy, for example, a
substantial part of a book or copy a segment of a
photograph. Its also very easy to forget that this
also includes software!.
As stated previously copyright exists to control the
way other people’s creative work is exploited.
Failure to seek permission could result in you being
liable, infringing the act can be a criminal offence.

The act does try to take into account students and
others who are doing project work and research.
This limits what you may use to:
•1 article from a periodical
•1 chapter or up to 5% from a book
The source of the material should be recorded on
the copy (see referencing in the Study Guide). This
is for acknowledgement and for future quotation

The College has set up a number of agreements to
help you and has a licence from the Copyright
Licensing Agency (CLA). The College pays a fee
based on the number of students who attend the
College, this allows you to make multiple copies of
sections of books and periodicals, however there
are limits:
The copies must be taken from the original work not
from a photocopy
The copies should be taken only to give out as part
of a lecture not as part of a study pack.

The licence does not cover scanning. The scanning
of copyright works is illegal and should not be done
without first seeking permission from the copyright
owners. It is recommended that scanning is limited
to : your own works, images in the public domain,
eg clip art, images where copyright has lapsed or
those for which you have obtained permission –
usually in writing.

Agency (ERA) Licence.
The licence – calculated on the type of
establishment and the number of students, allows
the College to make off-air recordings of Radio and
TV programmes, within these conditions tapes
(DVDs) may be put into library collections and
loaded to students.

Everything on the Internet is owned by someone!
The images, the text, the layouts, the designs and
even the databases that drive some of the sites!
You must assume that everything is protected and
to use it you should get written permission from the
owner.
The fact you are a student and only want to use the
material for your project work is no defence, even
copying text for an essay is illegal if you don’t get
permission whether you reference it or not!
As an artist its difficult because inspiration can
come from many places, what you must make sure
of is that you do not use other people’s ideas and
pass them of as your own!

Good practice says that you should get permission,
but if you do not then you should be careful to link
to the home page and not in anyway pass of their
site or any of its contents as yours.
Many owners are happy for you to link to them but
just in case make sure you get their permission in
writing – it can save confusion later on.

We know that we have said it before but it is so
important that we will repeat it:
The fact you are a student and only want to use the
material for your project work is no defence, even
copying text for an essay is illegal if you don’t get
permission whether you reference it or not!
And of course the same Laws protect your work
from copying.
You don’t need to do anything special to have your
work copyrighted, the face that you have created it
is sufficient for it to be protected.
But beware when you start work, your employer will
insist that everything you do at work belongs to
him/her, some even go so far as saying that all
ideas you have, inside or outside of work belongs to
them. Read your contract of employment!!

All material placed on the web is protected by
copyright.
But a website is made up of many different
components: Design, Images, and the “structure”,
this is very hard claim ownership because each
page has underlying code which defines how it looks
and works. Its very easy for anyone to access this
code, copy it (that’s illegal!...) and change it. What
is almost impossible is to prove that someone it this
unless you have a very unusual way of doing the
original coding!
But remember, how it looks and its content are
protected and no one may download this without
your express permission. See, it works both ways!!

Digital images have the same status as traditional
photographs and are automatically protected by
copyright.
If you are taking pictures of works of art – paintings,
sculptures etc, you must make clear what their
copyright status is.
In addition if you are commissioned (paid) to take a
photograph, in general you still own the copyright of
the picture despite having been paid for it and
usually only “sell” its use for a specific task. Many
clients don’t think this is fair and will argue about it,
make sure you get the terms and conditions in
writing to save any problems later on.

You’re right, it is a minefield and a very specialist
minefield at that!
You should always seek written permission to use
any material that you did not originate yourself.
In addition, if you create any work yourself it has
copyright automatically assigned to it, you need do
nothing. But beware, if in any doubt seek
professional advice.

Click on any question below for the answer
Many of us look at other work to inspire us, its all
part of the creative process and many artists would
say they created their work for other people to look
at (interact with, read, listen to or watch) and be
inspired!
What we have to careful with is that we do not use
their work and pass it off as our own. For instance if
you used part of a photograph, taken by someone
else, modified it and passed it off as yours without
any reference to the original artist, this would be
illegal.
Continue to look at what others have done, be
inspired, but this is a very difficult area to advise on
and its best to talk it through with your tutor.
One question for you: How would you feel if
someone used your work?

Fair Dealing applies to you acting on your own
behalf in “using” other people’s work. You could sue
it in the following situations:
•Research or Private study
•Criticism or Review – you might quote a passage
from a book if you were doing a review on that book
•Reporting current events – the event would need to
be topical

Intellectual property rights (IPR) include copyright,
but they also cover a whole lot more: trademarks,
patents or performance and recording rights. If you
think of copyright as a part of IPR that is correct but
you’ll find many people confused and use copyright
when they are referring to IPR.
It makes no difference to the outcome, your
copyright is covered as part of your intellectual
property rights.

Click on any question below for the answer
Digital material is protected in the same way as
traditional material except that they are classified
as literary works (even digital photographs, layouts
and multi-media presentations) because they are
made from binary code.
But for instance you could scan a painting that was
out of copyright, but if you did it from a modern day
book you would be infringing copyright as the
design of the book would be protected.
But your digital work would be protected in the
same as if you had painted it in oils, provided that it
is original and is in material form – ideas cannot be
copyrighted but if you put them into a physical form
this can be protected.

"To steal or pass off (the ideas or words of
another) as one's own" (Webster's dictionary)
The range of plagiarism ranges from the wholesale
copying of an essay to cutting and pasting of
sections and their rearrangement interspersed with
original comment.
Ironically it actually takes longer to do this than to
create totally original work!

It simply means that you can’t use other people’s
work and pass it off as your own on any college
project work.
This is the same as if you were doing work for an
external client as the Law makes only a few
differences for you as a student.
Take a look at the other pages to get a fuller view
but always seek the advice of your tutor if in any

Create and present your own work for
assessment!
Do not fall into the trap of thinking that if you
rewrite something it is not cheating, even if you
"put it into your own words“.
If you do not fully acknowledge the author, artist,
sculptor, photographer or fellow student it is
plagiarism!

Copying and pasting text, images or code from any on-line media, including web sites and "Free" reference material without proper acknowledgement is not allowed
Taking text, images or code from any printed material, be they books, magazines or instruction manuals without proper acknowledgement is not allowed
Just changing the text, image or layout without proper acknowledgement is not allowed. You might feel that by changing a few words or altering someone else's design by changing the colours etc is OK, it is not
If you intend to use any media (pictures, paintings, graphics, video, sounds, music or layouts) in a presentation or project then you must acknowledge them
There are many sources who will provide material for your project work for a fee, this is not allowed
You must not use work that you previously prepared for another module, course or project. You should talk to your tutor to get his or her opinion. By all means use it as a starting point and include it as part of your research material, but remember to acknowledge it in your bibliography.
