Which of the following steps would allow a student to use an image found on the Internet in a student publication?
  1. Cropping and color correcting the image, then citing it as their own work.
  2. Writing a citation including the URL of the Web page where they found the image.
  3. Citing the image with a disclaimer that the student is not the rights holder.
  4. Researching the license under which the image is published and following its guidelines.
Explanation
Correct Response: D. The only legal way to include an image found on the Internet in a publication is to abide by the owner's licensing agreement, which may or may not allow use without paying a fee. A is incorrect because, under fair use, you would have to change the image so dramatically that it no longer has the same meaning or purpose. Even then, the owner should be given credit for the original form of the image. B and C are incorrect because citations (B and C) and disclaimers (C) are not sufficient for the legal use of an image without permission.
