Copyright

• Copyright occurs automatically at the creation of a new work, when it is fixed in tangible form (e.g. written, recorded, painted) – even if there no © symbol or no author name.

Copyright

• Default Copyright (“All Rights Reserved”) means that people must get explicit permission to do any of the following:

• Photocopy the work or copy the work onto another computer

• Distribute or sell copies of the work• Recreate the work in whole or in part• Translate the work in another language• Perform or publicly display the work

Copyright

• Copyright does not protect– Right to perform privately– Ideas– Facts– Equations– Chemical formulas

Copyright should not be confused with plagiarism. The chart below (released under CC BY) explains the distinction. The chart is from University of Michigan lecturer Bryce Pilz's course on intellectual property and information law.

9

Privacy

• Are there patients? Students? Faculty ? Staff? • Unless they are public figures, did they give

consent for their images to be used for public, educational materials?

• Has identifiable information (name, ID number, face, profile, distinct scars) been removed?

• Are there any personal or family photos that should not be included in the public version?

• Is there location or contact information that should be removed from public version?

10

Product Endorsement

• Does it seem that the author is endorsing a particular commercial product or political candidate?

• Are trademarks and logos used appropriately to refer to the organizations or brands that they represent?

possible actions for media and text from a third-party (i.e. created by someone else)

:: RETAIN : keep the content because it is licensed under an open license or is in the public domain

:: REPLACE : you may want to replace content that is not openly licensed (and thus not shareable)

:: REMOVE : you may need to remove content due to privacy, endorsement, or copyright concerns

Example: medical-oriented cartoon• This is an example image.• This image is highly expressive.• While the image does express

an idea, which is not in and of itself protectable, there are creative choices made in that expression.

• There is no source information and no copyright notice.

• It may be difficult to find a replacement image that conveys a similar meaning.

16

Example: Painting

• This is digital reproduction of a Picasso painting. The original painting from was published prior to 1923.

17

Example: Generic Map• This image fundamentally

serves to represent data. • The underlying data is not

protected by copyright.• This depiction shows

common/standard/typical/ordinary/basic/routine choices for the content type.

• There are no real expressive elements, all choices have been made for clarity and to illustrate the underlying data.

Xray
