Obtaining Permission to Reuse Copyrighted Content
Copyright protects “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical,
artistic, and other intellectual property, or derivative works such as unique compilations
or collections of existing content as long as they are fixed in some tangible form, such as
on paper or in electronic memory. Since January 1, 1978, copyright in the United States
extends for the life of the author plus 70 years. So, works created before January 1,
1923, are now in the public domain, which means they are public property and can be
reproduced without permission or charge. Works created after that date may or may not
be in the public domain, and should be verified through the Copyright Office. Works cre-
ated outside the United States are protected in their own countries generally for the life
of the author plus 50 or 70 years, depending on the country. A copyright notice includes
(1) the symbol or the word “copyright”; (2) the year of first publication; and (3) the name
of the copyright owner.
To use copyrighted work, whether published or unpublished, you must obtain the
copyright owner's permission unless the intended use is a “fair use.” Generally, the fair
use doctrine allows you to reproduce small amounts of an original work specifically for
a review, criticism, or illustration of a point. When creating commercial Web sites, you
must be careful to get permission to include anything that is someone else's work. As a
professional Web designer, it's a good idea get permission to reuse anything that you
didn't create yourself or that is not owned by your client.
Whenever you reuse someone else's work—including Web sites, images, sounds,
video, and text from the Internet—you should indicate that the content is copyrighted
and credit the original source. When you obtain permission, ask the copyright holder for
the specific information they want you to include with the work. If they don't specify the
information or the content falls under fair use, include the name of the copyright holder,
the copyright year, the work's title, and the source. For works found online, list the URL
and the date accessed.

Checking the Spelling in Web Pages
It is important to proofread all of the text that you add to Web pages, whether you typed
it directly into the Web page or you copied it from another fi le. You cannot assume
that text you receive from someone else has been proofed and corrected. You should
