For Third Parties / Clients
If you have taken services from Wortham Digital,
a) Using third-party content is an intrinsic and perfectly legitimate part of marketing – especially in the digital realm. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to refer to current events, theorise about our industries and interact with one another as freely as we do now.
The circumstances in which using third-party content is justified can be broken down into two main categories:
-
When you’ve acquired a license to use the content
-
When your usage constitutes a “Fair use”
2. Rather than buying licences to use individual images, Wortham Digital uses uses libraries of stock images for a recurring fee with the consent of respective cleint. The drawback to using free libraries is that you may find yourself using the same images as other players in your sector. To ameliorate this effect, you should consider using a stock image library for lower-visibility uses like blog posts, and buying exclusive licences from alternative sources for more prominent uses such as homepage imagery. or you can have your own product photography and Videography services from Wortham Digital.
Whether purchasing rights from a library like iStock or from the original content creator, you should always take care to ensure the rights you’re getting cover the usages required. For example, do you need online rights only, or will you need print publication rights too? It’s easy to assume that because you’ve used a licensed image in printed artwork, it’s fine to use it online too – but that will not necessarily be the case.
An alternative (zero-budget!) approach to securing third-party images is to search for images offered on a Creative Commons licence. This means the creator has made the image free for use by others (though this may come along with certain requirements, e.g. including an attribution to the creator, or reproducing the work in an unaltered form.) You can search for Creative Commons images at flickr.com/creativecommons. There are also dedicated libraries that specialise in creative commons licensed images that can be free to use or which just require you attribute the original creator of the image. Take a look at services like Unsplash who specialise in images which are free to use.
b) if the Client has no consent about copyrights for their brand/company/firm for the use of Social Media publications / prints / TVCs , Wortham Digital/ Wortham World LLP is not liable to any copyright legalties for your brand. Companies that breach fair use requirements by copying large sections of content without justification (or by copying other people’s work in its entirety) will not only face the risk of a legal challenge, but also that of search ranking penalties from Google and other search engines and Wortham Digital/ Wortham World LLP is not liable to any justification. however we (Wortham Digital/ Wortham World LLP) always advise brands not to breach ethical practices of copyright policies.
