COPYRIGHT NOTICE & FAQ.
© 2007 Aqua Maid Water Systems Corporation. All rights
reserved.
The following is provided for informational
purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. If you need legal advice,
contact a lawyer.
What is copyright?
Copyright law protects original works, such
as websites, books, music, paintings, photos and video. A work is “original” if
it contains some elements you created and did not borrow from others. Typically,
when you create an original work, you own the copyright. As the copyright owner,
you can control how others use your work. For example, if you write a movie script,
you have the right to, and can prevent others from, copying your script, sharing
it with others (“distributing it”), making a movie or book from your script (a “derivative
work”), or publicly performing your script as a play or movie. You also have the
ability to sell or give away these rights. In other words, you could sell the right
to make a movie based on your script to a movie studio.
If you use someone else’s copyrighted materials
without permission, that use generally violates the copyright owner's exclusive
rights, and is copyright infringement. So if you create a new work and include parts
of other people’s works in it (such as an existing photo, lengthy quotes from a
book or a loop from a song), you must own or have permission to use the elements
you borrow. For example, if your script is based on an existing popular series,
you should obtain permission to use the elements you borrow from the series.
Copyright law is different from the law of
personal property. If you buy a physical object, such as a movie on DVD, you own
the physical object. You do not, however, obtain ownership of the “copyrights” (the
rights to make copies, distribute, make derivatives and publicly perform or display)
in the content of the movie. The fact that you have obtained physical possession
of a DVD does not automatically grant you the right to copy or share it.
If you make your own movie, it may include
many copyrighted works in it. So, if you decide to make a movie based on your script,
you must either create all elements of it on your own, or have permission to use
the elements you borrow. Especially keep in mind that photos or artwork hanging
on the walls of your sets and music on the soundtrack (even if you own the CD or
MP3) may be copyrighted. You should not include copyrighted works such as these
in your movie without authorization.
A few other things to keep in mind are:
1.
Just
because a work does not include a copyright notice (e.g., © 2006 Aqua Maid Water Systems Corporation)
does not mean the work is in the public domain. Copyright notices are generally
not required for works to be protected by copyright.
2.
Just
because a work is easily available on the internet or elsewhere does not mean you
may use the work freely. Look for terms of use, such as Creative Commons, that explain
how works you find on the Internet may be used.
Isn't it in the public domain?
Just because a work is freely available,
does not mean it is in the “public domain.” Copyright is for a limited term; it
does not last forever. In the copyright context, “public domain” means the copyright
term has expired. Once a work is in the public domain, it may be freely used without
permission from the copyright owner.
Determining the term of copyright can be
complex, particularly because copyright laws vary from country to country. Also,
even if the copyright on a work has expired, you should be careful about how you
use a public domain work. For example, a book may be in the public domain, but it
might not be ok to scan the book cover to cover and post it on the internet. This
is because the particular version of the book may contain new copyrightable material
that is not in the public domain, such as cover art or footnotes.
What about fair use?
In limited situations, you can use copyrighted
works without permission from the copyright holder. It can be difficult to figure
out whether use of copyrighted works without permission is legal, though, because
the laws in this area are often vague and vary from country to country.
The copyright law in the
United States
has
a doctrine called “fair use”. Fair use provides a defense to copyright infringement
in some circumstances. For example, fair use allows documentary filmmakers to use
very short clips of copyrighted movies, music and news footage without permission
from the copyright owner. Fair use is a difficult concept because determining whether
something is a fair use involves weighing four factors. Unfortunately, weighing
the fair use factors rarely results in a clear-cut answer.
Rather than applying a fair use test, many
other countries have specific exceptions to copyright infringement. The number and
type of exceptions vary by country, but they frequently allow copyrighted materials
to be used without permission from the copyright holder for activities such as nonprofit
research, teaching, news reporting, or private study.
If you incorrectly decide that something
is a fair use or falls into an exception to copyright infringement, you could be
held criminally and civilly liable and have to pay damages. We suggest you talk
to a lawyer if you have questions regarding fair uses of copyrighted works.
What happens if you upload copyrighted materials
to one of our websites without permission?
By law, we are required to take down videos,
music, photographs or other content you upload onto a website hosted by Aqua Maid Water Systems
if we learn that it infringes someone else’s copyright. If you believe that we have
mistakenly taken down content you uploaded that you own or have permission to upload,
you can also let us know that. Finally, if you upload infringing content repeatedly,
we will terminate your account and you could face criminal and civil penalties.
So please, respect other people’s copyrights.
What if my stuff is on a Aqua Maid
Water Systems website
without my permission?
If you believe that anything on a website
hosted by Aqua Maid Water Systems infringes your copyright, let us know. Just provide us with
the information requested here and we will see that your copyrighted works are taken
down.
I want to share my content, but...
Many of our websites and services allow you
to share content you create, such as video, music and photographs. Though there
is no way for us to ensure that your content will not be misused when you share
it online, you may consider making it available under a Creative Commons License.
Creative Commons licenses are a simple way
for you to let people know what uses they can make of your creative works and under
what conditions. Creative Commons licenses are customizable based on your preferences
and are automatically generated through the use of an online form. The form includes
questions such as whether your work may be used only for non-commercial purposes
and whether the work may be modified. As such, a variety of licenses are possible.
For example, an “attribution only” license allows others to make any use of your
work as long as they indicate that you are the copyright holder.
Creative Commons is continually developing
new licenses tailored to needs identified by creative people like you. To learn
more about Creative Commons, or to prepare a Creative Commons license, visit their
website (http://creativecommons.org/).
Any rights not expressly granted herein are
reserved.
