If you are interested in using the platform
Check the file Joining the game which explains more on using any data related to this simulation.
If you are using the platform and the simulation and contributing to the content
The basic situation is easy: everything anywhere is copy righted automatically by law. So all pictures and images which you can find anywhere, even on the internet or social. So keep that in mind when using existing pictures, photo's when playing the simulation. There is no copyright or trademark symbol anything needed. So the fact that you can copy something (save as...) doesn't mean you are allowed to do so. Also telling a picture of photo has copyrights and mentioning the name of the 'owner' doesn't work. Copyright means you have to have an agreement with the owner. There is a number of exemptions (depending on legislation per country).
Mostly this will be:
- humor
- citation (so short fragments witht references). Using a photo is NOT a short reference.
- creative addings by which the (new) image, music, video or text is a kind-of new product
- education (to a certain extend).
We suggest not to bet on number three and four, but to be safe and chose for images you can use for sure.
There are enough of sites with copyright free images, free stock material. Google even offers this search restriction in Google image-search and then use the tab search tools and then chose labeled for reuse.
Flickr and many others sites offer free images (beware which one you chose):
- Shutterstock: not all!
- Flickr]
- Freeimages
- librestock.com searching in 47 free stock images databases
Good suggestion: make pictures yourself or make a serious(creative) change to existing material, then reusing it is allowed.
All the material in our platform is creative commons as well.
For free sounds, music and videos goes the same! For instance
