Hello everyone,

Students always use images from google but it's important to know what we can do with those images.

Most of those images have got a copyright license. What does it mean?
It means that artists who made or created those pieces of work, images, books, songs, company symbols, murals, etc., don't want their images to be used without permission.

Let's try to understand what copyright means.



REMEMBER:
It's illegal to include copyrighted material that you haven't got permission.

1. Can I save them? In general, it's not illegal.
 2. Can I use them? If it's for personal use, it's normally all right, but what is personal use? It means that you are not making printed copies or using them for your own site.

 Think about other examples, please.

What is the meeaning of Creative Commons license?
Some artists put their images online and establish permission to be used by anybody who wants to but it's necessary to follow the rules set out by the artists.

Let's watch this video.
