As Internet, blogging and other technologies spread, copyright concerns become really important. If on the one hand all this has made it easier to search for, share, give and have information, it is also easier to infringe rules and violate rights. It is thus important to have a clear understanding of the Copyright law and of what Intellectual Property Rights are. It is essential to know your IP rights in order to protect and benefit from your creativity!
So, what are we supposed to do in order to respect IPR and avoid plagiarism?
First of all: be honest and loyal! Do not appropriate other people's belongings! Then:
Do use material and work under public domain but don't copy it. If you report an idea you find interesting and appropriate to your written production remember to quote the source and to mention the "owner" of that idea. Citing can be an important way to support your own opinion. In a blog you can add a link to a more exhaustive text.
Do use images and pictures but make it sure that they provide copyrights (use for example: Flickr's CreativeCommons). It is always better to add a note of the source. If you're not sure you are allowed to use an image check at the bottom of the web page if there is something about copyright, otherwise, don't use it.
These are some of the things I've gathered on the topic up to now. I know that the matter is rather complex and intricated so if you have something to recommend me you're welcome. Suggestions are always precious!! =)
See you soon!!
