<span class="c11 c24">“Fair dealing” in the UK covers the use of a limited amount of copyrighted material</span> for the purposes of quotation, caricature, parody and pastiche, illustration for instruction purposes, non-commercial research or private study and current news reporting (excluding photos).

Acknowledgement is independent of copyright and is necessary to avoid plagiarism. Being identified and credited as the author of a work is a “moral right”. If no other arrangements are in place (such as an employment contract), the author of a work is also the original copyright holder. The same is true for moral rights. When an employment contract is in place, copyright and moral rights are usually held by the employer. | Acknowledgement is independent of copyright and is necessary to avoid plagiarism.
