Copyright information

I have studied the copyright information on the websites of BBC and Guardian.

The Copyright section would go under the 'Terms and Conditions'.

In general, almost all the websites do not allow other (commercial) parties to quote or use their materials (photos, texts , everything appearing in the websites). In that sense, we can't use their stuff directly but we can paraphrase. It's very much similar to plagiarism.

Concerning the photos publishing, there's a website to register our photos (I have told Ariel). If you have your photos for your articles, the photo editor will add a tag 'some rights reserved' for your photos. We can use the photos from Flickr, but be careful and check out if there is any tag of 'Rights' or anything of such kind on their photos.

Here are the links of BBC and Guardian's 'Terms and Conditions':
