  1. What iscopyright and what does it protect? Copyright is something 5that someone puts on an image of a piece of work to make sure that no one can rip it off as there own. This is done to protects peoples art, images, work and anything else’s that someone might want to make there own and take the credit for something they haven’t done. You can be done for this, and there is different punishment for the majority of the breach in copyright. For instance, if I use someone’s image in my work and don’t ask for permission I could get all my work taken from me and kicked off my course, but if I steal someone’s work and make millions from it I may be arrested. And prosecuted.

  2. How canyou use ‘Copyright Hub’ to get permission to use images? 3. What are the organisations that you can contact to gain access to use images legally? I can use the Copyright Hub to gain permission to use images by allowing you to use these images on there behalf, they don’t mind you using these as long as you don’t try and pass the images off as you own. Other organisations that can help you gain access to using images legally are: • Getty images . • The British association of pictures libraries and agencies. • The British broadcasting association.

  As you cansee I have tried to find out who the owner of this image is, I have checked on the Copyright Hub and they don’t know who the image is from. This means I can legally use the image without breaching any copyright laws because as far as I am aware there is no owner of the image.
