Moral rights Within a digital environment, moral rights are important to adhere to because of the ease with which content can be altered, changed and manipulated. These rights include: • The right to paternity (i. e. the right to be identified as the originator of a work): Creators of content should be credited appropriately and provenance information ensured. • The right to object to any derogatory treatment: artwork etc. may not be altered or presented to public in an offensive manner. - changing colors or copying only part of an image 19. 1. 2022 4

What can I do without violating copyright? • Any person may make single copies of a published work for his private use (photocopy, photograph, print out, digital copy, etc. ). • Citing in scientific presentation Images can be used in scientific works such as theses, dissertations and course papers to illustrate and clarify text. Images must relate to the text and they must be discussed in the text, i. e. use of an image cannot be for decorative purposes. The designers/author's name and the source must be stated to the extent and in the manner required by fair practice. 19. 1. 2022 6

Citing in scientific presentation – any image?

How to publish? • A scientific work where images have been cited according to the exception rule in the copyright law and are from legal source can be disseminated in print form or as a digital publication for instance in a university library repository, but it cannot be sold commercially in print or electronic format. • For commercial uses a permission must be obtained from the copyright holder(s). 19. 1. 2022 8

Image databases • Image databases have varying use rights for images. Some contain Creative Commons licensing, whereas some are meant for private use, studying and research purposes only. • Always observe each image database's own guidance and help on use permissions. • For instance the ARTstor image database license for Aalto University allows Aalto students and staff to use images for printed theses, dissertations and papers, however, not for any form of digital publication, dissemination or commercial use. 19. 1. 2022 9
