Copyright: reuse of third-party materials
It is the responsibility of all individual students, staff, and visitors to the institution to ensure the reuse of third-party materials is carried out in full compliance with copyright law. This includes ensuring that permission has been granted for the reuse, and that the economic and moral rights of the authors or creators are protected.
Before re-using other people's work the individual must either ensure that there is licensed permission to use the work or that a copyright exception permits the use. If in doubt, it should be assumed that the works are protected by copyright and that permission is required
If the reuse is not licensed and does not fall within an exception, permission must be sought and granted by the rights holder, prior to the work being completed.
Evidence of the permission to re-use the work must be kept with the related work until it is discarded. Where the work is kept as part of an archive or permanent record, evidence of the granted permissions must also be retained with the work.
