Copyright law
applies equally to works electronically available on the Web. Internet sites
need not include a statement of copyright to be protected.
The fact that you can view, download or print text and graphics does
not mean that you are free to copy, modify or disseminate that work to others
either electronically or in hard copy.
Check the
site for information and/or follow general fair use guidelines.
Downloading
When you download material to your computer you make an electronic copy. Unless
your copy falls within fair use, you may not make this copy without authorization
of the copyright owner. Look over the site to see if the owner has
given permission to download.
If you are searching a commercial database that charges a fee, it may also authorize you to download or print the material -- check!
1. You may put your own created text, graphics,
audio or video on your web page.
2. If you use an item created by someone else whose copyright
has not expired, then you need to seek permission.
3. By creating a web page you have given implied permission to others to link to your web page (but not to copy it). You may link to another URL because links are like street addresses and are not copyrightable. However, if you copy an entire list of links from another Web site, it is probably a copyright violation.
