Hello, I'm currently creating a website for a local competition for web design. In the rubric, it asks for me to add copyright information on the website. How would I go about doing that? I am not talking about the copyright information on the footer, I'm talking about the images and the content. As far as I'm concerned, I'm using copyright-free images, but do I still have to make a documentation for that? If I were to make a separate page for copyright documentation, how should I categorize it? Thank you!
Looks like you're not getting too much feedback on this question. I think it's because what you're describing is very unusual. Typically sites will just add a little snippet of copyright information in the footer of their site. But I've never heard of anyone doing that for images. Is there maybe some confusion somewheres on what they want you to do exactly? What they could maybe be referring to is putting some type of watermark on the images as I know a lot of image owners do that to make sure their images are not copied. Another suggestion is that maybe they want some type of "terms of service" on the site, or legal information that could be referencing some type of disclaimer/copyright info on the images. Some websites out there that offer scripts, templates, and/or images will sometimes come with a readme.txt or license.txt that will have the legal details contained in it. As for what to write in these files or pages? I suppose it would be something along the lines of "The images on this site are ...." continued by your relationship to the images that you are using whether they are yours or not or possibly crediting where ever you got the images from. I'd suggest checking out the following URL for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy Very strange request though.
