Material disseminated by means of the Internet or World Wide Web has copyright protection in the UK.
If you are creating content for a website
- get permission in advance to use any material in which all rights are not owned either by you or by UEA
- Think before putting up images of living people; they could be misused. NEVER PUT IMAGES OF CHILDREN ON A WEBSITE WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN
- identify yourself as the copyright owner of your own works; identify UEA as the copyright owner of works created in the course of your employment by the University; identify other rights owners as appropriate
- assert your moral rights to your own material; identify the moral rights of others where appropriate
- in the case of high-value content, use a format that is not readily copied or manipulated by others, such as PDF
- use low-resolutions for images, and watermark them
- do not create the impression that content drawn from other sites is your own: do not incorporate content from other sites in your pages without attribution and make sure that
- you have permission from the site owner, and
- you are prepared to vouch for its authenticity
- clearly identify sites to which you make links; do not use 'deep' html to mask the fact that you are taking visitors to another site
- do not steal someone else's mark-up.
If you are browsing the Web
- observe all copyright conditions posted on sites
- download material for your personal use only; do not forward it to others (this is not only out of respect for copyright - you could be spreading something nasty)
- do not extract content from websites or pages for distribution as teaching material, either in hard copy or networked, unless explicit permission has been given to do this; beware of unattributed material - it may have been pirated
- do not 're-arrange' or edit someone else's website or pages, unless they have explicity invited you to do so.
