CAN I USE THAT PICTURE? HOW TO LEGALLY USE COPYRIGHTED IMAGES
http://blog.visme.co/how-do-you-know-if-something-is-in-the-public-domain/
What was once a web filled with code and scrolling text, the Internet is now the world’s largest conglomerate of images. And as visual content continues to rule, the number of images available online will only grow. But just because you can Google an image — and technically copy or save it — doesn’t mean the web is a free-for-all of visual data.

Since then, the project has become well-known in a number of communities of users as well as content creators, and, following a trend observed in other jurisdictions, encouraged CC as the prevalent mode of open licensing adopted by government, nonprofits, and for open access and educational resources.
DERIVATIVE WORK
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_work#Examples_of_derivative_works_under_U.S._law
In copyright law, a derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyright-protected elements of an original, previously created first work (the underlying work). The derivative work becomes a second, separate work independent in form from the first. The transformation, modification or adaptation of the work must be substantial and bear its author’s personality to be original and thus protected by copyright. Translations, cinematic adaptations and musical arrangements are common types of derivative works.
FAIR USE OF COPYRIGHT
Copyright is a form of intellectual property that gives tha author of an original work exclusive right for a certain time of period in relation to that work.
GENEVA DECLARATION ON THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION
http://www.cptech.org/ip/wipo/genevadeclaration.html
On October 4, 2004, the General Assembly of the World Intellectual Property Organization agreed to adopt a proposal offered by Argentina and Brazil, the “Proposal for the Establishment of a Development Agenda for WIPO” (sometimes referred to as “Item 12” because of its placement listing on the meeting’s agenda). This proposal was strongly supported by developing countries, as well as by a large contingent of civil society. Prior to the General Assembly meeting, hundreds of nonprofits, scientists, academics and other individuals had signed the “Geneva Declaration on the Future of WIPO,” which calls on WIPO to focus more on the needs of developing countries, and to view IP as one of many tools for development – not as an end in itself.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
COPYRIGHT.GOV
The U.S. Copyright Office, and the position of Register of Copyrights, were created by Congress in 1897 as a separate department of the Library of Congress. Twenty-two years earlier, Congress removed copyright registration from the district courts and centralized it in the Library of Congress. Today, the Copyright Office has approximately 400 employees, the majority of whom examine and register hundreds of thousands of copyright claims in books, music, movies, software, photographs, and other works of authorship each year. In fiscal year 2014, the Office processed more than 476,000 registration claims.
