Copyright Annika

There are very strict rules when it comes to copyright. If you want rouse someone's work you need to ask permission unless they say you dont.

Copyright protects original works of authorship
Literary works, musical works, including any accompanying words; dramatic works, including any accompanying music,are a few things that will be protected by copyright


Works consisting entirely of information that is commonly available and contains no originality (for example, standard calendars, standard measures and rulers, lists or tables compiled from public documents or other common sources); and
Copyright last 70 years after the authors death

If there is the double c icon it stands for creative commons which means you do not need to ask permission to use the website. The Single c icon means copyright which means you have to ask permission or site your source. These icon will normally be at the top of the page but they have the same meaning if they are anywhere else on the page.

Copyright can be a serious offense you can face huge fines or prison time. The whole point of copyright is to protect work that does not belong to you it is protect the original rights of owner ship.

So make sure to always site your sources and ask permission if needed.
