Brad Belbas's List: Creative Commons Resources for Student Projects

• • Websites & Web Pages
   
  •   Videos
   
  •   Images

• Copyright law is still evolving when it comes to the fair use of photos and images on the web. The use of images in any format is a complex issue. Determining fair use often depends on the circumstances
• Fair Use allows exceptions for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research.

• Very important! If you are  citing an image found in Google Images or any other image retrieval service,  be certain to cite the image in its original context. Do not provide the URL  of the enlarged image - you must use the URL of the page where the image was  originally shown

• How to Use This Tool
• Fair use is very context-dependent, so only you can determine if your use is fair. You may find it helpful to consult with an attorney or other specialist for further input. This form does not substitute for such consultation.
• This tool can help you organize your thoughts around the issues, although it does NOT tell you whether a proposed use is fair or not, and does NOT provide any kind of legal advice. It simply helps you structure your own reflections about the fair use factors, and provides a record that you did consider relevant issues. No computer processes your form - the end result is only a printable record of what you entered.

• What our licenses do 

   

    The Creative Commons copyright licenses and tools forge a balance inside the traditional “all rights reserved” setting that copyright law creates. Our tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies and institutions a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work. The combination of our tools and our users is a vast and growing digital commons, a pool of content that can be copied, distributed, edited, remixed, and built upon, all within the boundaries of copyright law.
