Copyright Information 

When you are adding images, videos, music, and other content that you did not create to your presentation, it is important
​to make sure that you are not violating anyone's copyright.
Ways We Are Able to Use Creative Work Without Permission Are:
PUBLIC DOMAIN & CC0
(Creative Commons Zero): 
​Creative work that is not copyrighted and therefore is free for us to use however we want.  Copyright begins 70 years after death of creator.  It is best to give attribution in citation or caption when possible. Creative Commons Zero means that the creator has voluntarily waived their copyright and is giving their creation to the public domain. Attribution is not necessary, but is recommended.

FAIR USE: 
​This is the ability to use a small amount of copyrighted work without permission, but only in certain ways and in specific situations (Ever wonder when you can reuse music, photo, or film clips from other sources? Find out with this cool interactive Fair Use App or the Flow Chart below. Attribution is required with fair use.
​CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSES: 
​These  licenses protect the people who use others' work, so they don’t have to worry about copyright infringement, as long as they abide by the conditions specified. Read the terms by clicking on each license icon. Attribution is required for all CC licenses. 

Fair Use Roadmap
This flow chart from Lisa Marie Jorgensen is a useful roadmap to assess whether your intended use is valid under the provisions of Fair Use.

Providing ATTRIBUTION for public domain and Creative Commons work  ​

"Note from Harvard Law School Library: Even if a work that you use is in the public domain, it is advisable to provide attribution for the work or, at a minimum, keep a record of the attribution of the work, so that you or other interested parties can find it later if necessary.....All Creative Commons licenses require attribution to the creator. " ​
Below is an example of  how to correctly provide attribution underneath a photo that has a Creative Commons license.
“Furggelen afterglow” by Lukas Schlagenhauf is licensed under CC BY-ND 2.0. 
​Note: Delsea teachers want to see those elements showing attribution within your assignment.
This is an ideal attribution because it includes the: How you attribute authors of the CC works will depend on whether you modify the content, if you create a derivative, if there are multiple sources, etc.
If you need more help, best practices for attribution are outlined on the CC Wiki HERE.​

​Music
Can I use any song with a CC license on it?
Almost — you need to make sure that what you want to do with the music is OK under the terms of the particular Creative Commons license it’s under. CC-licensed music isn’t free for all uses, only some — so make sure to check out the terms (you can find these by clicking on each song’s license icon).
Most importantly, you need to use music that is not licensed under a No Derivative Works license. This means that the musician doesn’t want you to change, transform, or make a derivative work using their music. Under CC licenses, synching the music to images amounts to transforming the music, so you can’t legally use a song under a CC No Derivative Works license in your video.
Also, make sure to properly credit the musician and the track, as well as express the CC license the track is under.
For example, you might include text like this at the end of your video:
This video features the song “Desaprendere (Treatment)” by fourstones, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.
Most of these sites require an account to be created in order to access or download music.
