Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Material placed on the Internet can be protected by copyright law, just like any other creative work. Permission must be obtained from the copyright owner to use or distribute the work. While some material may be free to use under certain circumstances, assuming all material on the Internet can be used without permission is incorrect. Additionally, the fact that material is in the public domain is not automatically assumed just because it is on the Internet. Lastly, material on the Internet can still lead to accusations of libel if false and defamatory statements are made.
