We use images all the time that we find online, whether in our flyers, videos, websites, or adademic work. What does that have to do with copyright? How can I know what I can use or not use?
This video gives a (non-expert, non-legal-professional) answer by walking through 3 kinds of images: those in the public domain, those protected by copyright, and those licensed by Creative Commons. Along the way we talk about where to find images (hint: Flickr) and what fair use has to do with anything.
