3.3 Copyright and licenses
Knowledge
I am aware that the creation of digital content (e.g. pictures, texts, music) when original is considered protected by copyright as soon as it exists (automatic protection).
Knowledge
I know that digital content, goods and services might be protected under intellectual property (IP) rights (e.g. copyright, trademarks, designs, patents).
Knowledge
I am aware that certain copyright exceptions exist (e.g. use for the purpose of illustration for teaching, for caricature, parody, pastiche, for quotation, private uses).
Knowledge
I know different models of licensing software (e.g. proprietary, free and open-source software) and that some types of licences need to be renewed once the licence period expires.
Knowledge
I am aware of the legal limitations of using and sharing digital content (e.g. music, movies, books) and the possible consequences of illegal actions (e.g. sharing copyrighted content with others can give rise to legal sanctions).
Knowledge
I am aware that mechanisms and methods to block or limit access to digital content exist (e.g. passwords, geo-blocking, Technical Protection Measures, TPM).
Skills
I am able to identify and select digital content for downloading or uploading legally (e.g. public domain databases and tools, open licences).
Skills
I know how to use and share digital content legally (e.g. checks the terms and conditions and licensing schemes available, such as the various types of Creative Commons) and knows how to assess whether limitations and copyright exceptions apply.
Skills
I am able to identify when uses of copyright-protected digital content fall under the scope of a copyright exception so that no prior consent is needed (e.g. teachers and students in the EU can use copyright protected content for the purpose of illustration for teaching).
Skills
I can choose the most suitable strategy, including the licensing, for the purpose of sharing and protecting one’s own original creation (e.g. by registering it in an optional copyright deposit system; choosing open licences such as Creative Commons).
Skills
I am able to check and understand the right to use and/or re-use digital content created by a third party (e.g. knows about collective licencing schemes and contacts the relevant collective management organisations , understands the various Creative Commons licences).
Attitudes
I am respectful of rights affecting others (e.g. ownership, contract terms), only using legal sources for downloading digital content (e.g. movies, music, books) and when relevant, opting for open-source software.
Attitudes
I am open to consider whether open licences or other licence schemes are more suitable when producing and publishing digital content and resources.
