Images, text, videos, and music are usually protected by copyright. But without them, a website would be pretty dull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what is copyright? Who\u2019s it for? And what should you watch out for when it comes to copyrighted content? We\u2019ll answer all of these questions in this article, and provide a quick overview of the most important points with our <strong>copyright checklist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the basics: the definition of copyright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo-stable-staging.com/blog\/copyright-online\/#What_is_copyright\" >What is copyright?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo-stable-staging.com/blog\/copyright-online\/#The_authors_rights\" >The author\u2019s rights<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo-stable-staging.com/blog\/copyright-online\/#Royalty-free_images_videos_and_music\" >Royalty-free images, videos, and music<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo-stable-staging.com/blog\/copyright-online\/#What_happens_in_the_event_of_copyright_infringement\" >What happens in the event of copyright infringement?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo-stable-staging.com/blog\/copyright-online\/#Differences_between_personal_and_commercial_websites\" >Differences between personal and commercial websites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo-stable-staging.com/blog\/copyright-online\/#Frequently_asked_copyright_questions\" >Frequently asked copyright questions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo-stable-staging.com/blog\/copyright-online\/#Copyright_checklist_for_your_website\" >Copyright checklist for your website<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo-stable-staging.com/blog\/copyright-online\/#The_Jimdo_Legal_Text_Generator\" >The Jimdo Legal Text Generator<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_copyright\"><\/span>What is copyright?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a legal sense, copyright regulates whether and how third-party content may be used. The following products fall under copyright law:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Images such as professional photographs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Videos like films or short films<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quoted text and programming code<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Music such as songs and compositions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you don\u2019t have your own images, text, videos, or music to upload to your website, you should check whether the content you do want to use is protected by copyright. Depending on the laws in your country and whether or not you\u2019ve profited from using the material (eg. used it for business purposes), copyright infringement could lead to a warning, a fine, or legal action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_authors_rights\"><\/span>The author\u2019s rights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright protects the interests of the author. The two main ones are <strong>financial compensation<\/strong> and <strong>control over the redistribution<\/strong> of their work. The current legal regulation ensures the protection of intellectual creation. For example, an author can order that their images or videos may be used for one year only, or not for commercial purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what does that actually mean? Imagine you need to liven up your website with professional photos, but you don\u2019t have any of your own to hand. Where can you get some without stealing? Serious stock photo providers such as Unsplash or Shutterstock are ideal in this situation because they guarantee that the image rights are entirely clear. Take a look at the licenses for each image. Free photos often use a Creative Commons license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you create your website or online store with Jimdo, you get your own Image Library built-in. It\u2019s packed with royalty-free images tailored to your industry that you can use on your website\u2014100% free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center post-cta has-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0111f410 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring your business online with Jimdo.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-right is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-17124a9a wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a data-tracking=\"post_cta_create_website_signup\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/register.jimdo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Royalty-free_images_videos_and_music\"><\/span>Royalty-free images, videos, and music<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for royalty-free images, music, text, or video content for your website, your search will quickly lead you to databases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/royalty-free-images\/\">royalty-free photos<\/a>. But what exactly does royalty-free mean in this context? Royalty-free images are not always free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, royalty-free means that you have to purchase a one-time standard license and then there are no further regular fees. So, before using the images, check the terms of use to see which requirements must be met in order to avoid copyright infringement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_in_the_event_of_copyright_infringement\"><\/span>What happens in the event of copyright infringement?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using material without the author\u2019s consent is a violation of copyright. Law firms can send warnings and cease and desist letters on behalf of rights holders to claim damages or ask you to remove the content. If you infringe someone\u2019s copyright, you might have to pay charges like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Damages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warning fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal fees\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appraisal fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you receive a warning, don\u2019t ignore it. After all, the person issuing the warning could be in the wrong, or the claim could be too high. Copyright infringement can result in <strong>civil and criminal law consequences<\/strong>, so it shouldn\u2019t be taken lightly. It\u2019s best to find out about the terms of use and any restrictions before using third-party content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Differences_between_personal_and_commercial_websites\"><\/span>Differences between personal and commercial websites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering whether copyright varies with personal and commercial websites. In general, as soon as content is published online, it\u2019s copied and no longer private. So using content from external sources on your personal website without checking the copyright can have legal consequences, as only the author or the owner of the rights of use is allowed to that material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_copyright_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked copyright questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be cautious when using images, music, and videos from third-party sources. At first glance, it\u2019s not always easy to tell whether something is protected by copyright.
