Copyright Assignment


I just searched for slideshows that were used to teach something and this was one of the first ones up.  There were many images of people that were famous pictures. There were no citations at all. We don't know who took the photos and if it was ok for the person to use them.  The songs that were used were only used partially, but it was a big part and that cold be deemed as improper use.  Again no citation of who wrote the song and where they got it from. They might have bought the song and put it with the video but we don't know that. They did cite the quotations that they used from the Bible and other people of the Catholic church.


This video cites the song and who it was by in the information box below the video on YouTube.  It also says that the images were taken from the news.  I don't know if this means that they are allowed to be used by everyone, or if the news stations own them and have to give permission.  I think there is at least an attempt here to say that the work is not the author's but it still isn't done correctly.

  1. News stations are like any other entity, they have a right to their images and audio. You seem to have a good sense of the need to site, and the need to ask for permission, too. Good work!
