Tasostasouliss Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hello! For my EE, I used a picture, but the website where I found it says "all rights reserved". My question is, can I still use the picture as long as I reference it, and provide the link of the website where I found it, along with acknowledging the author? I am aware of the "fair use" law, but I don't live in the US. I live in Hungary, and I'm from Greece. Will I still be covered by this law? Or by a similar one? I have no intent of "harming" the owner of the photograph, I don't present it as my own, and I'm using it for academic purposes. Is it fine that I used the picture, since I acknowledged that it's not my work? I have already submitted the EE, so deleting the picture is not an option. But I'm rather stressed about this. Any help is more than welcome! Thanks! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomenclature Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I don't know know Hungarian copyright law and don't pretend to be a lawyer, but what I can tell you is that basically even if it "technically" is against the law, don't worry, you won't be prosecuted. (IB sucks but they won't snitch on you 😄) Congratulations on finishing you EE. Celebrate! You deserve it. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Happy new year and congrats on finishing EE! In future research papers or other academic papers, it is best to avoid using other people's images. But for a high school research paper there will not be consequences. Wish you all the best! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
