What is the position when a public sector organisation wants to use third party copyright material, say a photograph in a publication?
A. Like other applicants it is important to seek permission, preferably in writing, from the copyright owner. Otherwise the public sector organisation is infringing copyright. It is common practice to acknowledge the copyright. The inclusion of third party copyright material in a publication is unlikely to change the overall copyright of the publication.
