All the work you submit in your eportfolio should follow the laws of copyright. This means you are not allowed to use text, images, sounds and other such material that belongs to someone else without their permission.
If you have been given permission to use material in your project, it's essential that you list these sources in your bibliography [bibliography: a list of books, articles and web sites which you have used throughout your project ]. A bibliography is a list of all the sources - books, magazines, websites and reports - that you use for your project.
What is copyright?
All the work you submit should follow the laws of copyright. This means you are not allowed to use text, images, sounds, or other material that belongs to someone else.
You cannot use material found on the internet unless the owner gives permission for it to be used.
This country's copyright laws are very strict and organisations have to be very careful about what material they use. Fines for incorrect use can be very high.
The BBC has a whole department dedicated to making sure that all the material for the website has been checked. It is a complicated process and can take months to do. If you want to use images found on the internet, you will need to follow a similar process, so start checking early!
