Standard copyright laws apply when posting online.
Permission is generally required when sharing copyrighted material created by
others, but there are some situations when material can be used without
permission. These include fair dealing exceptions (e.g. study, criticism or
review, parody or satire), linking and embedding some types of materials, items
out of copyright (i.e. public domain material), and short phrases of text.
Moral rights also apply when posting works created by others
– in a nutshell, it is the right of a creator to be attributed by name, to not have his or her
work attributed to another person, and the right to have the integrity of
his/her work respected. This is often a point of contention for many amateur
artists who find their work shared on social media without their permission and
without any credit attributed to them.
