Use of Internet Resources

"The Internet has been characterized as the largest threat to copyright since its inception. The Internet is awash in information, a lot of it with varying degrees of copyright protection. Copyrighted works on the Net include new stories, software, novels, screenplays, graphics, pictures, Usenet messages and even email. In fact, the frightening reality is that almost everything on the Net is protected by copyright law. That can pose problems for the hapless surfer.” 7

Citing Use“Sometimes marketers get a little protective of their stuff because there are less-than-scrupulous people out there who take content and then try to pass it off as their own. All that hard work, and none of the credit. Not cool, less-than-scrupulous people. Not cool.” 8

Social media makes it easy to give credit: Facebook – share button; Twitter @ symbol.However, you should always give credit where credit is due – on everything (exceptPublic Domain). If someone doesn’t want you using their work on the internet, you will usually get a warning. It would be smart to listen to it!
