14 Copyright Tips for Bloggers

  • Never copy the whole of anyone else's material: whether it is a picture, an article or a layout. The more you copy, the less likely a court is to view your use as 'fair', even if you are doing it for criticism or review; - ycc2106 on 2006-08-02
  • Copying because you want to comment or engage with something is more likely to be fair.

    3) Try to be proportionate. Don't copy the whole of someone else's stuff if a shorter extract will do. Do the shorter extract and then link! The more you take, the more likely it is to be an infringement.

  • 4) Acknowledge your sources if you do copy, and link to them. Some countries have things called 'moral rights' - rights to be attributed as an author of a work. Also, in some countries, if you are relying on a 'fair use' type defense, you will need to acknowledge the source, even if your purpose is criticism/review or reporting news. It is also more likely your act will be considered 'fair' if you identify your source.
