59. Dos and Don’ts
Do:
• Use Google search tools to find CC
licensed images for reuse.
• Use reverse image search to check
source & attribution.
• Get into the habit of only using CC
licensed content.
• Double check the licence.
Don’t:
• Assume you can reuse any content
you find on the internet.
• Use material unless it is explicitly
licensed for reuse or in the public
domain.

Editor's Notes
Copyright protects the rights of authors of creative works. You don't need to register copyright or put the copyright symbol on your work. Once you have created an original piece of work, be it a photograph, sound recording, painting, or paper, your rights as the author of that work are protected.
A licence is the permission or authorisation to re-use a copyrighted work. By applying a licence you aren't giving up your copyright, the work is still yours, what you are saying is how someone else can, and can not, re-use your work.
A licence is the permission or authorisation to re-use a copyrighted work. By applying a licence you aren't giving up your copyright, the work is still yours, what you are saying is how someone else can, and can not, re-use your work.
A CC BY licence allows anyone to re-mix, re-use & re-share, so long as attribution, or credit, is given to the author. This means you can take a picture, change it, put it on a mug, and sell it if you wish. A CC BY-SA, or ShareAlike licence, allows anyone to re-mix, re-use, & re-share, so long as credit is provided to the author and any new work is shared under the same licence. So we could take that picture, cut it up, put it in a collage, so long as the collage was also licensed CC BY-SA so that someone else could re-use and re-share the work. We call this copy-left.
Here are three examples of attribution. We have a picture of a plate with iced cupcakes topped with a CC inside a circle. And here are three possible attributions. The first, or Good, attribution is how I prefer to do it. It has the title, the authors name and which platform the work is from, and the licence information. The title and the licence have been hyperlinked through to the source of the image and the source of the licence, but if we saw this on a poster where we couldn’t click on a link, there’s enough information here that we could go online ourselves and find the original image and the authors other works.
