Copyright definition: "The exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same."[1]
All non-original content on the Dam Safety Toolbox must be correctly cited and adhere to applicable copyright law such as the Copyright Act of 1976. "Works in the public domain are those that are never protected by copyright (like facts or discoveries) or works whose term of protection has ended either because it expired or the owner did not satisfy a previously required formality. Currently, all pre-1926 U.S. works are in the public domain because copyright protection has expired for those works."[2]
Publicly available documents such as those published on website of federal and state agencies may be uploaded to the Dam Safety Toolbox to allow users to download and view them. Images used for the Dam Safety Toolbox should also adhere to the Media and Copyright Policy. Images should be taken from public domain repositories such as Wikimedia Commons.
