Copyright and Minimisation of associated risks

It can be quite tempting to just download a beautiful photo of a ship from the Internet and use it in your marketing materials or on your website. However, do you know for sure whether you are allowed to use it? Or whether you could be infringing the author’s copyright?

This Brief Guide aims to inform you of the key points you might consider when using someone else’s original work whether it is a photo, video, text, design or any other sort of material. We have defined the relevant concepts based on our knowledge and recommended steps that you can consider to minimise the risk of being accused of copyright infringement.
