課程筆記

What is Copyright?

  • Copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives the owner exclusive legal rights to copy, distribute, adapt, display, and perform a creative work.
  • Creative works include literary, artistic, educational, and musical works.
  • Copyright protects the original expression of an idea, not the idea itself.
  • Copyright is usually for a limited time (often 50–100 years after the creator's death).
  • In the UK, there are limitations like fair dealing (similar to fair use in the US).

Who Owns Digital Work?

  • The creator of a digital work usually owns the copyright automatically.
  • If multiple people create a work, they may share the rights as rights holders.
  • Copyright can be licensed or transferred to others.
  • When you create something original, you own it and have moral rights like attribution.

Copyright Basics for Images, Music, and Text

  • Images: Photos, illustrations, and graphics are protected by copyright.
  • Music: Songs, recordings, and compositions are protected.
  • Text: Books, articles, and web content are protected.
  • You must get permission from the owner to use their work, unless it's allowed by a licence or exception.

Licences and Creative Commons

  • A licence is a legal permission that allows others to use a work under certain conditions.
  • Creative Commons (CC) is a set of free licences that let creators share their work legally.
  • CC licences have different conditions, such as attribution (BY), non-commercial (NC), no derivatives (ND), and share alike (SA).
  • Always check the licence to see what you can and cannot do with a work.

Crediting Sources

  • When you use someone else's work, you must credit the source.
  • Crediting means giving attribution – naming the creator and the source.
  • Proper crediting shows respect for the creator and avoids plagiarism.
  • For CC works, follow the attribution requirements stated in the licence.

Plagiarism

  • Plagiarism is using someone else's work or ideas without giving credit.
  • Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty and can have serious consequences.
  • To avoid plagiarism, always cite your sources and use quotation marks for direct quotes.
  • Even if you paraphrase, you must still credit the original idea.

Legally Re-using and Re-purposing Content

  • You can legally re-use content if you have permission (e.g., a licence) or if the work is in the public domain.
  • Public domain works are not protected by copyright and can be used freely.
  • Fair dealing in the UK allows limited use for purposes like criticism, review, or education.
  • When re-purposing, respect the original creator's rights and any licence conditions.

History of Copyright

  • Copyright developed after the printing press in the 15th–16th centuries.
  • The Statute of Anne (1710) was the first copyright law, protecting authors' works.
  • The Berne Convention (1886) established international copyright protection.
  • Copyright laws aim to incentivise creativity by giving creators exclusive rights.
