Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator an automatic international right of literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works the right to control the ways in which their material can be used. It also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, etc. Illegal or unauthorised use of copyright material may lead to legal action or even criminal charges, so you can use the work of others if:
-Copyright has expired
-Your use of the work is fair dealing as defined under the 1988 Copyright Designs and Patents Act (UK)
-Your use of the work is covered over a licensing scheme that you have subscribed to and the copyright holder is a member of
-The copyright holder has given you permission
Fair dealing is a term used to describe some limited activities that are allowed without infringing copyright, e.g.
-Research and private study
-Instruction or examination
-Criticism or review
-News reporting
-Incidental inclusion
-Accessibility for someone with a visual impairment
