General approach to various usages of copyright material
I wish to place a copy of the publication on a website
FPWA Sexual Health Services rarely approves the republishing or 'mirroring' of material on other websites. Our reasons are:
- We need to maintain control over our information so we can update or remove it as necessary, without delay.
- We like to retain a single point of authority on key issues.
- A link is as good as a copy for most users.
- We want to retain the recognition and credit for our material, and also the somewhat intangible value that applies to search engine rankings. The ranking of our site is maximised by retaining our own content.
I only want to use one or more images
We often receive requests to use images from our website or one of our publications. By their very nature, images raise a suite of additional issues that must be considered, including:
- Our extensive image collection is a valuable resource and we want to use it responsibly and fairly.
- Many of our photographs and illustrations demonstrate significant creative effort, which may require special recognition.
- Some of our images are used under license to other copyright owners and our license rarely extends to approving use by other people.
- Many of our images contain people. Under law, we are required to follow certain procedures in managing and using these images.
I want to use the material for advertising or promotion
Commercial charges will normally be applied for use of materials for advertising, promotion or some other commercial purposes.
I will supply the material to a third party as part of a paid services
Supplying material as part of a paid service comprises a commercial use of the material.
I am seeking to use material from a saleable publication
FPWA has a number of saleable publications. Copying of material from these could undermine the market for the publication. Requests for copying of material from these publications are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
