Part Two of the Copyright Infringement Series is here. Check it out! 🎧

In this episode, we explore practical strategies for making sure you don’t become an accidental infringer! Be confident that you are legally using third-party copyrighted material. Here are the key takeaways from this episode:

1. Educate Yourself About Copyright Basics:  Make sure you understand what copyright is and what it protects. 
2. Research Before Use:  Before using any content (text, images, music, video, etc.) that you did not create, research its copyright status. Just because something is available online doesn't mean it's free to use. 
3. Seek Permission:  If you can't determine the copyright status or can't get permission, it's safest not to use the content. 
4. Use Copyright-Free or Creative Commons Resources:  Materials in the public domain aren't protected by copyright and can be freely used by anyone. Creative Commons licenses provide a standardized way for creators to grant the public permission to share and use their creative work. 
5. Keep Records:  Maintain a record of all permissions, licenses, and correspondence related to the content you use. Keep track of expiration dates or any other conditions to ensure you stay in compliance with the permission.  

The biggest takeaway is to be fair and do the right thing by respecting our fellow experts’ intellectual property.
