Disclaimer
All of the sources included in this site adhere to established guidelines on Creative Rights. Some materials used are in the Public Domain or licensed through Creative Commons. Other items included in this site that fall under copyright protection follow the guidelines on Fair Use as published in the “Documentary Filmmaker’s Guidelines for Best Practices in Fair Use,” which include:
· attributing where the work came from (either on screen or in the credits)
· trying to make material from a range of sources, not just one source
· making sure that we are only using as much as is absolutely necessary to make our point
Materials labeled “Fair Use” appear to be subject to copyright projection but the use here passes the test for Fair Use, which means giving a positive answer to the two questions most used by the courts to determine “fair use:"
· Did the unlicensed use "transform" the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original?
· Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?
Our use of the materials is transformative, using it for a different purpose than that of the original. The material was also taken in appropriate kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use.
Materials labeled “Public Domain” consist of works that are either ineligible for copyright protection or have expired copyrights. Materials labeled with “Creative Commons” license most often hold “Share Alike” and “Attribution” CC licenses, which means that we are allowed to remix, tweak, and build on the work as long as we give credit and license our remixed work under identical terms. Unless otherwise indicated, these are the CC licenses the source materials hold.
Music
“Someday.” Cradlesong. Matt Serlectic: Composer, Author, Producer. Rob Thomas: Performer, Author. 2009. [Fair Use] (My use of this song is different than its original intended use to sell albums. The way it is used for my story is appropriate as I am not attempting to earn a profit from using this song. Also, the song was used enough to add the appropriate emphasis to the intended message of the video.)
