© = copyright
The copyright system protects
intellectual property. If you write something, make a picture or
sounds, nobody can use your work without permission (“All rights
reserved”). Only you, the copyright owner can make copies and use
them to make money.
Copyright applies to:
1 Verbal works (= written articles,
poems, plays, books)
2 Visual works (photos, drawings, etc.)
3 Sounds (Music, stories and other
sounds)
If you want to use copyright material,
you need to
- get permission
- pay royalties
- acknowledge the source

A newer system is called CC = Creative
Commons. Creative Commons pictures, music etc. are "free" for most uses. If an author's work is licensed under Creative Commons, the author gives up
some rights (“Some rights reserved”) and allows other people to
use these works for free (most people reserve commercial rights, however = If
you want to use these words, pictures, sounds etc. to make money, you
must ask the author for permission and pay some money).
BY – acknowledge the author = if you
use it, you must mention the author's name
NC – non-commercial = you can’t
sell it or use it to make money
SA – share alike = if you make any
changes, you must share them
ND – no derivatives (you cannot
change it)
How do we find CC pictures, music etc.?
Use a CC search engine, such as
Compfight.com (to find pictures on
Flickr.com)
