What is protected
on the WWW? The unique
underlying design of a Web
page and its contents,
including: |
|
- links
- original text
- graphics
- audio
- video
- html, vrml, other
unique markup language
sequences
- List of Web sites
compiled by an
individual or

- and all other unique

|
When creating a
Web page, you CANNOT: See
below |
|
-
Put the contents of
another person's or
organizations web site
on your Web page
-
Copy and paste
information together
from various Internet
sources to create "your
own" document. [You CAN
quote or paraphrase
limited amounts, if you
give credit to the
original source and the
location of the source.
This same principle
applies to print
sources, of course.]
-
Incorporate other
people's electronic
material, such as
e-mail, in your own
document, without
permission.
-
Forward someone's e-mail
to another recipient
without permission
-
Change the context of or
edit someone else's
digital correspondence
in a way which changes
the meaning
-
Copy and paste others'
lists of resources on
your own web page
-
Copy and paste logos,
icons, and other
graphics from other web
sites to your web page
(unless it is clearly
advertised as
"freeware." Shareware is
not free). Some
organizations are happy
to let you use their
logos, with permission -
it is free advertising.
But they want to know
who is using it. They
might not approve of all
sites who want to use
their logo.
