Let’s make a project that respects copyright rules

Dear partners, here there are some easy tips to help you to respect copyright rules while working in our project.

What kind of material can I upload in the Twinspace?

You cannot make a copy or use materials under copyright without author’s permission.

First of all remember that copyright protects works from unauthorized duplication without due credit and compensation to the author.

Copyright covers not only books but also articles, graphic designs, labels, letters, emails, lyrics, maps, songs, worksheets, pictures, etc.

Be sure that the material you upload in the twinspace is your own creation OR that it is under Creative Common Licenses.

Material distributed with Creative Commons licenses can be copied and used for your non-commercial works.

If you use Creative Common resources, it is good practice to give credits to the author. 

Where can I find Creative Commons material?

Creative Common enable searching for reusable content.

You can:

• use Google to search for Creative Commons content, using google tools for filtering by license
• look for pictures at Flickr or Pixabay (be sure to use only free results)
• look for music at Jamendo.

You can also look for Creative Commons licenses in the Wikimedia Commons and the multimedia repository of Wikipedia or use Open Educational Resouces.

For further information, have a look at the Creative Commons website.
