Answer:
For my project I had to refer to various websites to acquire photographs and videos, as well as write my own content. I know that any content published on the Internet is automatically protected by copyright law. Here are the three things I kept in mind while using material from the Internet:
Content posted on the Internet has implied licenses. This means, on the basis that a person has posted something on the Internet, that person has accepted the fact that other people will read, share, download, or print the content. The problem with implied licenses is that they do not have concrete boundaries. For this reason, when I referred to websites I only read the information, but did not use material directly from the sites.
Other authors declare terms of use of their content in the form of express licenses. These websites dictate what can and cannot be done with the content by others. The Creative Commons license is a type of express license. Therefore, I safely used some photographs from websites having the Creative Commons license.
I used some videos and quotes from various websites in my project. Because I used small portions of videos and written content for a nonprofit, educational purpose, my use of the material qualified as fair use.
