Copyright Assignment

This assignment is based on Exercise 3 from Chapter 7 of our textbook (p 128-129).

Using the sites listed below, develop a set of guidelines on how to determine if an image or other digital file requires permission to reproduce. The guidelines should also describe how to use images and other files found online legally and ethically.

The guidelines should be 3-5 pages, doublespaced.

The report should be a single set of guidelines, not guidelines for each site. You'll need to synthesize information from the sources above. Since I know the sources you're using, citations can be informal: "According to the US Copyright Office," or "The licensing statement from Getty Images explains that . . ."
