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.

It will serve as a forum for the exchange of different perspectives at national, regional and international levels. There will be numerous opportunities to engage with top experts from around the world and exchange experiences and best practices on how IP contributes to development.
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.
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.
