2. Copyright
It is a legal concept, enacted by
most governments, giving the
creator exclusive rights to it.
Gives the copyright holder the
right to be credited for the work,
to determine who may adapt the
work to other forms, who may
perform the work, who may
financially benefit from it.
3. Your rights as a copyright owner
Right to make copies
Prepare derivative works
Publicly distribute
Display and perform the
work
In the case of digital
sound recordings, to
perform the works over a
digital network.
4. What you need to know about
copyright protection…
Many people assume that everything posted
on the Internet is public domain, probably
because our law used to protect published works
only if they displayed the proper copyright
notice upon publication. The law, however, has
changed: neither publication nor a notice of any
kind is required to protect works today.
5. The facts
Simply putting the pen to the
paper or in the electronic medium,
putting the fingers to the save key
creates a copyrighted work. Once
expression is committed to a
tangible medium (and computer
media is considered tangible),
copyright protection is automatic.
So, postings of all kinds are
protected the same as published
printed works.
6. Liability for posting infringing works
The proliferation of RIAA lawsuits against individuals for
peer-to-peer file-sharing make clear that individuals can be
liable for their own actions when they copy and distribute
others' copyrighted works without permission.
8. Implied and express licenses to use
Internet materials
You can easily give your works an express
license by attaching a Creative Commons license to
the materials you post on your Website, or upload
to other sites.
It's easy and it sends the message that you want
your materials to be part of the flow of creativity.
9. Creative Commons licenses
• Every Creative Commons
license works around the
world and lasts as long as
applicable copyright lasts.
• These common features
serve as the baseline, on top
of which licensors can
choose to grant additional
permissions when deciding
how they want their work to
be used.
10. Fair use
Fair use is the right, in some
circumstances, to quote copyrighted
material without asking permission or
paying for it.
11. Getting permission
Assuming the work you wish to use is protected, the work
has not been licensed for your use online, and your use is
not a fair use or otherwise exempt from liability for
infringement, you need permission.
Check the Copyright Clearance Center("CCC") first.
If the work you want to use is registered with the CCC,
you can get permission instantly for most materials. If
your institution subscribes to the academic license and
your work is covered, you don't have to do anything --
your use is covered.

Editor's Notes
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
Whenever an author posts anything on the Internet, he or she should reasonably expect that it will be read, downloaded, printed out, forwarded, and even used as the basis for other works to some degree. So, just by posting, an author impliedly grants a limited license to use her work in this manner.
