Question

Susan is searching for photographs on different websites for her school assignment titled ‘travel diaries’. She wants to use a photograph she found on a photographer’s private website. Which precept should she follow?

fair use

permission for use

copyright infringement

intellectual property rights

Answer 1

permission for use

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this correct in on the test in Plato. Basically, you can get permission to use someone else intellectual property.

Answer 2

If the ‘travel diaries’ project will be posted as a personal blog online, Susan should follow the precept on copyright infringement. The subject at hand is personal, if it’s a travel diary, then that connotes that she is using content that she herself took in one of her travels. If the photographer --- who happens to own the copyright of the image being the creator himself --- sees his photo featured in her diary, then that’s tantamount to infringement.
