What is the current copyright legislation?

i have to copy and paste text and graphics from the world wide web in compliance with the current copyright legislation. but i don't no what that means i can and can't do because i am unsure what it is. |||As long as you state clearly where the sources were taken from and create a reference list than you should be fine =]





Take a look at the link below and scroll down to electronic sources:|||The appropriate legislation will depend on what country you are in. My understading is it will be similar in most contries the agreed to the benrne convention. In the U.S., you can read about copyright and the official government site:

What I think you will find however is that simply giving credit as mentioned above does not consitutute license for you to use copyright images. There are only cerrtain fair use applications in which you can use a copyright image legally without permission from the copyright holder.





|||Cite your sources. That should be enough.
