Under United States copyright law, any art that is made within the scope of an artist’s employment is considered work made for hire. See Cmty. for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid, 490 U.S. 730, 737 (1989). In Reid, the Court distinguished between two types of hired artists: employees and independent contractors. Id. at 736. Artwork made by an employee is a work made for hire, while work made by an independent contractor is not. Id. The Court then established thirteen possible factors that, while not individually determinative, should be considered when determining if an artist was an employee or independent contractor. Id. at 752. The importance of specific factors depends on the facts of the case. Id. For example, in Reid, the location of the…

Almost 90% of the royalties collected by the PRS are paid out to their members and without this, many musicians, song writers, composers and publishers may not be able to continue making new music and in turn, killing off the industry altogether. Essentially, the role of the PRS is to make sure that the 10 million plus songs they manage are credited financially. The PRS will collect royalties on behalf of their members whenever their songs are played, performed or reproduced spanning across most businesses, governments, organisation, and educational establishments under licence. The PRS Music Licence will allow the user to use licensed music in a number of mediums such as Radio, TV, Online and Public Performances, each with its individual tariff. If this system didn't exist, how could music creators continue doing what they love and supply the world with new music? Copyrighting rewards the creator as and when his or her creation is used, re-played or re-produced.…
If I was in this scenario, I would inform the co-worker that the use of the artwork in that manner is not allowed, and have them check to see which of the two options it falls under. If the co-worker tried to say that there was no official copyright symbol and thus it is not copyrighted, I would explain that copyright laws apply automatically to any work or thought expressed, as soon as that work or thought has been permanently set down, and sometimes, even if merely stated – interviews still require the interviewee be cited and credited if at all possible. This combined with a basic understanding of both fair use guidelines and creative commons licenses means that the use of the artwork is copyright infringement. The artist first needs to be asked if we could use the artwork for this purpose and then credited if he/she says yes, or of it is under a merely creative commons license, merely crediting the artist might take care of the issue. As a library, we have a duty to uphold copyright and the fair use of another’s work, as the purpose of copyrighting works is to protect people’s ideas and work, and thus help to promote those very pursuits. Therefore, I would have to have my co-worker in this scenario fix his/her mistake and rectify the…

Taking an image from third parties is also taboo. Once the original image is fixed on a hard drive for the first time, it is protected by copyright laws.

But unless the originator expresses this, it is not the case.…
