V. Copyrighted Materials
A. Introduction
Nonprofit continually invests significant resources to create text, images and other materials and content on the Site. These materials and content may be protected under copyright laws of the United States and of other countries worldwide. To protect its investment, Nonprofit diligently guards against infringement of its copyrighted materials. This policy outlines certain conduct that violates Nonprofit’s copyrights.
B. Copyright
Copyright protects original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Copyright infringement occurs when any one or more of the following rights is violated: (1) reproduction; (2) adaptation; (3) distribution to the public; (4) performance in public; or (5) display in public. Copyright infringement issues can also arise when a new work or a modification of an existing work, known as a derivative work, is created from a copyrighted work. A derivative work is based upon a pre-existing work in which the pre-existing work is changed, condensed, recast, transformed, adapted, or embellished. If the pre-existing or underlying work is a protected work under copyright law, one who wishes to exploit the derivative work must obtain a license from the owner of the copyright in the underlying work or works. Thus, modification of Nonprofit’s copyrighted materials without explicit permission for commercial use constitutes infringement. Without written permission from Nonprofit, you may not make any unauthorized reproduction or engage in distribution of Nonprofit’s copyrighted materials, which include, but are not limited to, materials such as publications, Site content, diagrams, photos, videos, images, and graphics published by Nonprofit in any format. It is Nonprofit’s policy to enforce its copyrights against any third party who infringes on its copyrights. To ensure that you do not infringe on any of Nonprofit’s copyrighted materials, do not engage in any of the following without prior express written consent from Nonprofit:
- Do not directly or indirectly copy, reproduce, or distribute any of Nonprofit’s materials, content (including web pages) or any part of the text or graphics from those materials or content.
- Do not directly or indirectly modify or create derivative works of any of Nonprofit’s materials or content.
- Do not create materials that look as though they originated from or are endorsed by Nonprofit.
