To copy and use an image you need to have permission to do so. Most commonly permissions will be granted via: * a licence through a Collective Management Organisation (CMO) such as your CLA Business Licence. * a Creative Commons licence. * direct permission from the rights holder. * use of content in the public domain. Each of these will have terms and conditions on how the image can be used. You can reverse-search an image to find out who owns it. You can do this on Google, or you can apply for permission to reuse an image found online via PLSclear. With your CLA Business Licence you can copy still images extracted from publications covered by the Business Licence under the following conditions: * You can only copy images from material your organisation ''owns or subscribes'' to. * If you are only copying images use your best judgment to ensure the amount you copy ''does not exceed 5%'' of the journal, magazine, periodical or book. * If you are copying an extract of text with images the limits are: * ''one article'' from a single issue of a journal, magazine or periodical, ''or 5%'' of the issue if greater * ''one chapter'' from a book, ''or 5%'' of the book, whichever is greater. * Only UK based employees can make copies. * Only UK based employees can receive a photocopy. * All employees, in the UK and in overseas offices, can receive scanned and digital copies provided these copies are sent and accessed via your organisation’s email or network.

Links to other content like audio, video, databases etc. is not permitted under this licence. * You can share links internally with employees over the organisation’s email and intranet. * Links ''cannot be shared externally'' outside the organisation, for marketing or promotional purposes, or hosted on externally facing company websites. Links to random internet sites are not covered by this licence. However, sharing links to a web page typically does not infringe copyright. But please note: * In the UK, ''copyright protection is automatic'' when a work is created so the text, images, video and other material will be covered by copyright and so can’t be copied. * While sharing links is generally permissible, check the website’s ''terms of use policy''. Some websites may have specific rules regarding linking to individual pages. * Reproducing images directly from a website could potentially constitute a copyright infringement, so ''check with the rightsholder and get the necessary permissions'' before using images. <h3>CLA Check Permissions tool</h3> Use the <a href="https://cla.co.uk/resources/tools/check-permissions/" target="_blank">CLA Check Permissions Tool</a> to see if a title is covered by the licence and what you can copy, share or re-use. <h3>Find out about:</h3> [[Digital content]] [[Image]] [[Rights holder]] [[Creative Commons]] [[Public domain]] [[What can copies be used for?]] [[Where can you store copies?]] [[How much can you copy?]] [[Who can copy?]] [[Who can you share with?]] [[Acknowledgment]] [[Ownership]] [[CLA Check Permissions Tool]]

That is, the organisation must: * ''subscribe to'' the journal or online publication being copied and have been a subscriber for the period covered by the issue being copied. * ''have purchased the book or off-line publication'', or been presented with it – for example, a controlled-circulation magazine. In general, you can copy from material which your organisation has: * ''purchased'' as part of a current or past, print or digital, ''subscription''. * ''purchased as a single item'', such as a book. * ''has been received from press cuttings and PR agencies'' (however, newspaper content in both print and digital format is excluded, except titles represented by Knowledge Bylanes and Syndigate, details of which are available on CLA’s website). * ''has been supplied by or via a third-party licensed document supplier/aggregator or a publisher’s pay-per-view website'' (if the publisher has opted in to the Licence) and where a copyright fee has been paid. The Licence does //''not''// allow you to copy from an employee’s personal subscriptions unless the employee permanently donates the copy to your organisation. If you want to copy from a publication that is covered by the CLA licence, but your organisation does ''not'' own or subscribe to it, you must seek ''permission directly from the rights holder''. <h3>Find out about:</h3> [[Rights holder]] [[Creative Commons]] [[Public domain]] [[What do you want to copy?]] [[CLA Check Permissions Tool]]

They //''cannot''// be distributed to ''external third parties or the public'', with the exception noted below (please note the difference between what you can share with UK employees and international employees): * ''UK based'' employees, consultants and agency workers can ''receive photocopies, scanned and digital copies''. * ''All employees'', consultants and agency workers ''in the UK and international offices'' can ''receive scanned and digital copies'' provided these copies are sent and accessed via your ''organisation’s email or secure network''. * Copies made available to ''overseas employees'' in this way may //''not''// be printed, saved to file or further distributed.

[[Home->CLA Business Licence]] <img src="https://cla.co.uk/app/themes/cla/images/banner_4.jpg" alt="banner image" width="100%"> <h3>How much can you copy?</h3> On each occasion you may make paper or digital copies as follows: <h3>Paper Copies:</h3> * ''One complete chapter'' from a book. * ''One article'' from a single issue of a journal or magazine. * In the case of a published report of judicial proceedings, ''the entire report of a single case''. * ''Or 5%'' of the publication, if that is greater than the above. <h3>Digital copies:</h3> * For digital copies scanned from a print publication ''the limits are the same as for paper copies''. * For digital copies from a digital publication that is organised in a similar way to a printed publication, with ''discrete chapters or articles, the limits are the same as for paper copies''. * For digital copies where the material is non-linear, you should ensure, as far as is practicable, that the amount you copy is ''approximately equivalent to the limits set out above''. A degree of informed personal judgement is required when ascertaining how much may be copied under the licence. <h3>What constitutes 5% of a publication?</h3> It is important for you to consider what makes up an individual work. Do not assume that a website or digital publication is one work as it will be made up of different parts. As a general rule, the 5% should be applied to a discrete item, for example: * A ''printed journal issue''. * A ''printed book''. * If digital material has an identifiable book, journal, magazine or periodical structure then ''book or issue'' should be used. * A ''PDF document'', such as a white paper or report. * An ''HTML page'', or ''series of pages'', making up the work. * Documents retrieved from a publishers database, an item may be ''a single retrieved document or a series of documents'' depending on how the database is structured and the material presented. The ''5%'' can either be ''a single extract or multiple extracts taken from different sections'' of the publication. <h3>Find out about:</h3> [[What do you want to copy?]] [[Who can copy?]] [[Who can you share with?]] [[What can copies be used for?]] [[Where can you store copies?]] [[Acknowledgment]] [[Ownership]] [[CLA Check Permissions Tool]]

[[Home->CLA Business Licence]] <img src="https://cla.co.uk/app/themes/cla/images/banner_4.jpg" alt="banner image" width="100%"> <h3>What can copies be used for?</h3> There are specific permitted uses for copies including internal information purposes, employee training, and regulatory filings. Commercial re-use is //''not''// allowed under the licence terms. For example, you can use copies: * to ''share with colleagues'' at meetings or briefings. * for ''market intelligence''. * for ''research & development''. * for ''staff training''. * to ''share media coverage'' within your organisation. * for ''Health & Safety or Environmental Awareness''. * for ''UK regulatory and patent submissions''. * to ''post articles'' from selected publications on your ''company website''. You can post up to ''five articles in any one year'' from publishers who have granted permission for this service. Use the CLA Check Permissions tool to see if you can republish an article. You can //''not''// use copies: * to share in any form with clients or any ''external person or organisation''. * in meetings with ''external participants''. * in presentations to ''clients or at conferences''. * for ''external marketing/promotional purposes''. * in ''social media posts''. * to ''sell, rent or loan''.

[[Home->CLA Business Licence]] <img src="https://cla.co.uk/app/themes/cla/images/banner_4.jpg" alt="banner image" width="100%"> <h3>Acknowledgement</h3> You should always ''acknowledge the creator'' (copyright holder) when you copy and share content. Best practices for acknowledging copyright holders when using content under this licence are: 1. Retain any ''copyright notices'' associated with the content, such as: (align:"<==")+(box:"=========XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=====================")[- The copyright symbol © - Copyright holder ''name'' (author, publisher, etc.) - ''Year'' of publication] 2. When making digital copies, incorporate the ''copyright notice on every copy''. If this is not possible have it adjacent to the content. 3. For print copies, include the notices either ''on the document or in a reference citation''. 4. Have a general "''Copyright License Notice''" attributing the CLA licence and noting that ''all works are protected''. For example: "This document contains materials licensed under a CLA licence. All works remain protected by copyright in accordance with the licence terms." So, in essence - ''make copyright information readily available'' alongside content extracts by retaining existing notices and adding general statements. This ''attributes rights'' to the appropriate party as intended by the licence for internal corporate reuse. <h3>Find out about:</h3> [[What do you want to copy?]] [[Who can copy?]] [[Who can you share with?]] [[What can copies be used for?]] [[Ownership]] [[Rights holder]] [[Creative Commons]] [[Public domain]] [[CLA Check Permissions Tool]]

[[Home->CLA Business Licence]] <img src="https://cla.co.uk/app/themes/cla/images/banner_4.jpg" alt="banner image" width="100%"> <h3>Rights holder</h3> The ''rights holder'' is the person or organisation that ''holds the copyright for the material''. In order to use their material you must get the ''appropriate permissions'' to do so. You can contact the rights holder directly or use services such as <a href="https://www.plsclear.com/Home/Index" target="_blank">PLSclear</a>, a ''free permissions service'' where you can make a request to use work protected by copyright.

This search facility accesses a comprehensive database of ''over 17 million publications'' that are covered under each type of CLA Licence. The licence also includes material from Copyright Clearance Center's participating US publishers and other international publishers. If the content you want to copy is //''not''// included in the Check Permissions tool you should contact the [[rights holder->Rights holder]] to seek permission to use it.

[[Home->CLA Business Licence]] <img src="https://cla.co.uk/app/themes/cla/images/banner_4.jpg" alt="banner image" width="100%"> <h3>Creative Commons</h3> Creative Commons is a type of copyright licence that usually allows anyone the right to ''freely use the work'', provided they ''acknowledge the owner''. They provide a way for creators to grant permission to use their creative work under copyright law. These licences allow you to ''share, use, and build upon'' copyrighted works.

[[Home->CLA Business Licence]] <img src="https://cla.co.uk/app/themes/cla/images/banner_4.jpg" alt="banner image" width="100%"> <h3>Public domain</h3> Most works enter the public domain ''70 years after the creator's death'', meaning they can be ''freely used without copyright protection''. Upon the death of a creator, the copyright to thier works will pass to their estate. To use it you must either have the ''appropriate licence'' or ''permission from the'' [[rights holder->Rights holder]]. After 70 years copyright expires, the creative works effectively become public property and ''enters the public domain''. At this point, any person or business can use a public domain work ''without getting permission''.

[[Home->CLA Business Licence]] <img src="https://cla.co.uk/app/themes/cla/images/banner_4.jpg" alt="banner image" width="100%"> <h3>Where can you store copies?</h3> You can store digital copies on your ''local hard drive or personal server space'' on the organisation's secure network. You can also store digital copies on the organisation's ''secure network'' for access by employees. These may be indexed and searchable for ''internal sharing'' but may //''not''// be stored with the intention of creating an electronic library or similar corporate information resource. UK based employees can ''download copies'' stored on the network locally, ''print'' them or ''send by email'' to colleagues. Copies stored this way can be ''sent to international colleagues via email'', but they may //''not''// ''print, download or forward'' them. They can view them on the ''intranet/network''. Copies may be held, for longer, in a project- or product-based store, provided it is ''only accessed by employees'' within the same work group. On termination of the licence all stored copies ''must be deleted''. <h3>Find out about:</h3> [[What do you want to copy?]] [[Who can copy?]] [[Who can you share with?]] [[What can copies be used for?]] [[How much can you copy?]]
