1. Copyright, ethics and morality
of your work

2. Discussion
Are any of the following photographs allowed under
copyright? Can I place them on my own web page?

9. What is
copyright?
• Literally means
the right to copy
something that is
made.

10. Real life copyright
- an author's time

11. Copyright royalties
£20.00 - 6% = £1.20
€23.42 - 6% = €1.41

12. Copyright law originated in the United Kingdom from a concept
of common law; the Statute of Anne 1709. It became statutory
with the passing of the Copyright Act 1911. The current act is
the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

13. Is it all about copyright?
• Not at all. Copyright is one part of what needs
to be considered when content is created.
Content
created
Copyright Moral rights
Integrity Falsely
Paternity (derogation) Privacy
(distortion)
attributed

14. So what 'stuff' can be
protected by copyright?
• Music,film
& video
• Literary or • Magazine
• Images
dramatic s & type
• Digital Apps
& software

15. Copyright is an automatic
right and arises whenever an
individual or company creates
a work. To qualify, a work
should be regarded as
original, and exhibit a degree
of labour, skill or judgement.

16. Interpretation is related to the independent creation
rather than the idea behind the creation.
For example, your idea for a book would not itself be
protected, but the actual content of a book you write would
be. In other words, someone else is still entitled to write their
own book around the same idea, provided they do not directly
copy or adapt yours to do so.

17. • The law gives the creators of literary, dramatic,
musical, artistic works, sound recordings,
broadcasts, films and typographical arrangement of
published editions, rights to control the ways in
which their material may be used.
• The rights cover; broadcast and public
performance, copying, adapting, issuing, renting
and lending copies to the public.
• In many cases, the creator will also have the right
to be identified as the author and to object to
distortions of his work.
• International conventions give protection in most
countries, subject to national laws.

32. Just like any other asset, copyright may be transferred or sold by
the copyright owner to another party.
Rights cannot be claimed for any part of a work which is a copy
taken from a previous work. For example, in a piece of music
featuring samples from a previous work, the copyright of the
samples would still remain with the original author.
Only the owner, or his exclusive licensee can bring proceedings in
the courts.

33. Plagiarism and
copyright infringement
How does this affect copyright?

34. Copyright Infringement
• Copyright infringement is using someone else's work
without getting that person's permission.
• The author of any original work, including books,
essays, Webpages, songs, pictures, and videos,
automatically gets the copyright to that work, even if she
doesn't label it with the copyright symbol and her name.
• The work must be fixed in form tangible, which means it
must be stored on something physical, such as paper,
canvas, a CD, or a hard disk.

35. Copyright Infringement
• The owner of a copyright gets to decide who can legally
make copies of that work.
• It is illegal to copy large sections of someone else's
copyrighted work without permission,even if you give the
original author credit.
• Imagine someone making copies of the movie Finding
Nemo without asking for permission. I'm sure you won't get
away with it just by giving the authors credit on the DVD
cover!
