Copyright

Copyright is the exclusive legal right, given to a creator, to copy, distribute, publish, perform or record material of an artistic, literary or musical nature. Copyright is often used by content creators to give them and only them the right to use it, meaning only they can receive credit for it.

Copyrighting is something our group had to be aware of during our production process as we had to ensure we didn’t incur any legal situations with content creators online. Specifically, we used images of movie titles, cover etc. from the internet and therefor had to be extremely careful not to use any material which had legal protection.


To do this we checked the sources of all our images’ sources to ensure the creator had no copyright over the image and in turn, no obligation to request permission to use them on our blog and avoid any legality issues. If we had faced this problem, however, we would have researched and found the source of the image and contacted them about using their image for our blog post. Same would've been applied to any music we wanted to use.
