Can you re-use images from Google? What can you copy? And how do you credit content owners? We put together a suite of guides to help you understand copyright basics, re-use, permissions, attribution and more.

To summarise, simply follow these 4 simple tips to avoid copyright issues:
|
If in doubt, always create your own content (illustrations, charts, tables, graphs) from scratch. There is no copyright issue if you own the content. |
Provide simple hyperlinks. This way, you aren’t copying and there’s no copyright infringement. Caution: Frame-linking, and creating links to infringing works should be avoided. |
|
Rely on openly licensed content. Caution: ensure that the content is not itself infringing! |
If you wish to use copyrighted content, and that content is not available under an open license that you qualify for, write to the owner for permission! |
