Module Three. Copyright

Copyright.
According to the copyright act of 1976, almost any original expression that is fixed in a tangable form is protected as soon as it is expressed.
Therefore, even though the Volcano tutorial sit is presenting facts, which are not eligable for copyright, the way it is presented and the images it uses are in my opinion eligable for copyright protection.
The fact that it is a tutorial and encourages you to make a web site using text and images it provides, in my opinion suggests an implied consent, therefore I do not believe I have contravened copyright laws.


The Curtin logo would fall under trademark law rather than copyright law.
