版权,剽窃和合理使用

The DWOC Studio supports the Mount Union community in the creation of digital, multimodal projects. 打算在网上发表的写作是令人兴奋的, but it poses challenges different from those you will face when writing a traditional term paper. It’s important to understand the difference between copyright (a violation of law) and plagiarism (a violation of ethics), 并理解合理使用的界限, especially if you will post your work online where copyright holders may find it and challenge the use of their work in your published piece.

Copyright, Copyleft, and Fair Use

This Hoonuit module, 学生和威尼斯人app下载可以订阅, takes you through just about everything you need to know about copyright and how it is likely to affect you as a student creating works to be shared in class, online, and on social media.

大学生一天的合理使用

This infographic, 由研究图书馆员协会出版, 在上面的胡诺特模块中有涉及. It demonstrates just how much college students rely on fair use in their academic and personal lives and is a brief guide to how fair use works.

The Public Domain  

什么是公共领域? Depending on the country of a work’s origin, the definition of “public domain” may differ. 1923年以前在美国创作的作品属于公有领域, 这意味着创作者的版权已经过期.  Check out the Public Domain resource in Stanford University Library’s Copyright and Fair Use Guide, 找出哪些属于公共领域,哪些不属于公共领域.

Assets for Digital Composing

需要一些背景音乐的视频项目? 你可以用图片让你的ppt或网站看起来令人惊叹吗? While nothing published except materials that are in the public domain can be said to be “copyright free” and therefore free for you to use in any way that you wish, 大量的资产(图像), sounds, music, etc.) are available through databases and search engines online that are licensed for you to use in a variety of ways.

免责声明:如果你在网上或其他地方发表你完成的作品, 做研究并找出答案是很重要的:

  1. 你对材料的使用是否构成合理使用
  2. 资产是否实际上处于公共领域
  3. Whether it has been appropriately licensed for your intended use by the actual creator

In other words, don’t assume that because you found a piece in a database of public domain images or just because a website states that a piece is licenced for unrestricted use that it actually is safe to use. When you publish, it is your responsibility to do further research to find out if you are really “all clear” to use a piece in your own creative work.

大英图书馆Flickr公共领域图片库

The British Library’s Flickr account contains millions of images that fall into the public domain, many of them from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. If you are looking for an unusual, striking historical image, this may be a good place to start.

Licenced Material

Creative Commons (CC)

关于CC是什么以及它的作用有很多误解. It is NOT true that anything you find using CC is free for you to use any way you like. Instead, CC provides licensing labels that clearly state what rights creators have reserved for their work. Some creators reserve all rights, meaning that they want to project to the world that they do not wish for others to use their work unless their permission is sought and obtained. Some creators reserve some rights, 比如,当他们的作品被使用时,他们想要得到认可, 或禁止将其作品用于商业用途. 还有一些人将他们的作品转让给公共领域, reserving no rights, 并且允许任何人以他们选择的任何方式使用他们的作品. 了解有关如何阅读CC许可的更多信息 and then check out their new beta search engine. 新的搜索引擎使创建归属变得容易. 在这里了解有关如何赋予CC材料属性的更多信息.
