COPYRIGHT POLICY

All of the images and written material contained on http://socialmediasun.com/ is copyrighted to Social Media Sun, The entire contents of the Site are protected by international copyright and trademark laws.

YOU MAY NOT MODIFY, COPY, REPRODUCE, REPUBLISH, UPLOAD, POST, TRANSMIT, OR DISTRIBUTE, IN ANY MANNER, THE MATERIAL ON THE SITE, INCLUDING TEXT, GRAPHICS, CODE AND/OR SOFTWARE.

WHAT IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT?
The rights granted by the Copyright Act are intended to benefit “authors” of “original works of authorship”, including literary, dramatic, musical, architectural, cartographic, choreographic, pantomimic, pictorial, graphic, sculptural and audiovisual creations. This means that virtually any creative work that you may come across—including books, magazines, journals, newsletters, maps, charts, photographs, graphic materials, and other printed materials; unpublished materials, such as analysts’ and consultants’ reports; and non-print materials, including electronic content, computer programs and other software, sound recordings, motion pictures, video files, sculptures, and other artistic works—is almost certainly protected by copyright. Among the exclusive rights granted to those “authors” are the rights to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform and publicly display their works.

These rights provide copyright holders control over the use of their creations and an ability to benefit, monetarily and otherwise, from the use of their works. Copyright also protects the right to “make a derivative work,” such as a movie from a book; the right to include a work in a collective work, such as publishing an article in a book or journal; and the rights of attribution and integrity for “authors” of certain works of visual art. Copyright law does not protect ideas, data or facts.

In the U.S., the general rule of copyright duration for a work created on or after January 1, 1978 is the author’s life plus 70 years after the author’s death. This is often referred to as “life-plus-70?. Works created by companies or other types of organizations generally have a copyright term of 95 years. For more information on copyright duration, fair use, and the Digital Millenium Copyright Act visit http://www.copyright.gov/title17/.

FAIR USE
A provision for fair use is found in the Copyright Act at Section 107. Under the fair use provision, a reproduction of someone else’s copyright-protected work is likely to be considered fair if it is used for one of the following purposes: criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research. If the reproduction is for one of these purposes, a determination as to whether the reproduction is fair use must be made based upon four factors:

1. The purpose and character of use (principally, whether for commercial or nonprofit educational use);
2. The nature of the copyright-protected work;
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used; and
4. The effect of the use being evaluated upon the potential market for or value of the copyright-protected work.

Fair use is an ambiguous concept and the law does not state exactly what uses of a copyrighted work will be considered fair uses under the law and may therefore be used without obtaining permission. As such, individuals who are not lawyers may often need to be interpreters of the law in everyday circumstances, and answers as to how much reproduction may be considered fair use often remain unclear. The bottom line is that fair use requires a very circumstance-specific analysis as to whether a particular use or reuse of a work may indeed be considered fair use.

To avoid confusion and minimize the risk of copyright infringement, Social Media Sun interprets the following situations as fair use:

• Quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations.
• Use in a parody of short portions of the work itself.
• A summary of an address or article, which may include quotations of short passages of the copyright-protected work.

Any online use of works attributed to Social Media Sun or a contributing author must be cited with the author’s name and a direct hyperlink to the original content, and cannot consist of more than a short summary in quotations that is clearly attributed to the author and source.

The only exceptions to this copyright policy are in instances where the infringing parties have obtained express written permission by the content owner prior to use of the copyrighted material, or in a case where the client who commissioned the work has included the right  to reproduce or duplicate the content in their contract. Permission should be acquired prior to the use of any copyrighted material to avoid legal action. We will actively pursue prosecution to the fullest extent of the law for any person or entity that does not acquire prior express written consent, and will not give permission to a person or entity after the fact. You can use our contact form, or contact us by e-mail at contact@socialmediasun.com for all requests for permission. Please include the information listed below:
