Directorate of Learning Resources Can I use it or cant I?

Directorate of Learning Resources Does the law allow me to use images for teaching? Basically, no The law allows material to be copied for coursework and for private study, but not for teaching

Directorate of Learning Resources So can I use images from the internet? This depends partly on whether the web pages explicitly say that you can use their images

Directorate of Learning Resources Some web sites say no clearly And this means you cant use their images eg the National Portrait Gallery:

Directorate of Learning Resources Some web sites dont say And this means you cant use their images eg the Ecclesiological Society

Directorate of Learning Resources Some web sites say yes And this means you can use their images – under the conditions they set Eg the National Gallery

Directorate of Learning Resources Some web sites say yes – but can you trust them? Eg, an Advanced Google Image search allows you to limit the search to images licenced for reuse

Directorate of Learning Resources Why you should distrust a web sites permission to use images Because the advice is based on laws in a different country Because they are using unsafe interpretations of the law Because the web site doesnt understand the law – or allows contributions from people who dont understand the law
