Topic 2 -Copyright in online learning

In Vocational Education and Training, you probably use various sources of information and the studies of others. Remember that all the pieces of work you deal with online on a daily basis are protected by copyright law. This includes music, films, photos, studies, photos on Instagram, descriptions of goods on auction portals or websites. Using them requires payment of a fee. If you download an image illegally, there will be a watermark on it. Using these sources without a fee is a fraud, the same as stealing money. It is unethical behaviour, morally wrong and, of course, punishable. Copyright infringement on the Internet is punishable by a fine, restriction or imprisonment. There are also free, unpaid resources on the Internet that you can use legally (e.g. https://unsplash.com/) You can use these resources free of charge without infringing the copyright (check creative common licence).
