First things first, this is my blog, my words, and from now on will be of my own images. Therefore, unless you are granted my permission you cannot copy it.
Copyright is self explanatory in its name - do not copy unless you have the right. Any type of work such as literature, drama, music, photography that is yours, only belongs to you; unless you choose to license it, or sell it on to someone and therefore 'pass on' ownership. However, for purposes such as comment, criticism or review you are allowed to use someone's work, on the conditions that it is brief, packaged and most importantly the source is credited.
Always remember that there is no copyright in the facts of a news story. Fair Dealing, aka 'Lifting' is the process where by you can 'lift' quotes out from reports and reuse them. This is certainly a tactile means for journalists to get information and spread the news fast.
Copyright marked the midway point between the first semester, 6 weeks in already! Oh how time flies when you're having fun!!
