Copyright, Plagiarism and Fair Use

DWOC工作室支持Mount Union社区创建数字、多模式项目. Composing with the intent to publish online is exciting, 但它所提出的挑战与你在写传统学期论文时所面临的挑战不同. 理解版权(违反法律)和剽窃(违反道德)之间的区别很重要。, and to understand the limits of fair use, 特别是如果你要在网上发布你的作品,版权所有者可能会发现它,并质疑在你发表的作品中使用他们的作品.

Copyright, Copyleft, and Fair Use

This Hoonuit module, available by subscription to Mount Union students and faculty, 带你通过你需要知道的关于版权的一切,以及它是如何影响你作为一个学生创作作品,在课堂上分享, online, and on social media.

The Public Domain  

What does it mean when something is said to be in the public domain? 根据作品原产国的不同,“公共领域”的定义可能有所不同. Works created before 1923 in the United States are in the public domain, meaning that the creator’s copyright has expired.  查看斯坦福大学图书馆的版权和合理使用指南中的公共领域资源, to find out what does and doesn’t belong in the public domain.

Assets for Digital Composing

Need some background music for a video project? What about images you can use to make your PowerPoint or website look stunning? 然而,除了在公共领域发布的材料之外,没有任何东西可以被称为“无版权”,因此您可以自由地以任何方式使用您希望的方式, an enormous number of assets (images, sounds, music, etc.)可以通过数据库和在线搜索引擎获得,您可以以各种方式使用这些数据库和搜索引擎.

Disclaimer: If you publish your finished piece online or elsewhere, it is important to do research and find out:

  1. Whether your use of the material would constitute fair use
  2. Whether an asset is actually in the public domain
  3. 它是否已被实际创作者适当地许可用于您的预期用途

In other words, 不要想当然地认为,因为你在公共领域图像的数据库中找到了一幅作品,或者仅仅因为一个网站声明了一幅作品是不受限制使用的,所以它实际上是安全的. When you publish, 你有责任做进一步的研究,以确定你是否真的“完全清楚”在你自己的创造性工作中使用一个片段.
