How may I use copyrighted materials in my research papers, web pages, Power Point presentations, or projects?
You may legally copy, display, perform, etc. copyrighted materials in some circumstances. You must ask the copyright holder for permission to use a copyrighted work unless your use is covered by one of the law’s exemptions, such as Fair Use. You should assume that everything you find on the Internet is copyrighted unless labeled otherwise. Web pages are copyrighted as a compilation work combining text, images and design. Logos, photographs and other images, although easily cut and pasted, are also protected by copyright laws.
