CAIN Copyright Statement

Introduction

Most of the content within the CAIN Archive is covered by copyright law and the copyright of the material is (normally) held by the content creators.

Much of the content has been contributed by a wide range of individuals, groups, organisations, and agencies. CAIN has obtained permission to hold and display a digital copy of the material. CAIN is not the copyright holder of these items, and cannot provide copyright permission to any third party. Some of the content has been generated by CAIN staff and the copyright of this type of material rests with the staff members and Ulster University.

Users of the CAIN Web site may view the material and download a single copy of items of interest for private study or personal, non-commercial use (under 'fair dealing' or 'fair use' of copyrighted material). Anyone who requires an item for commercial publication (paper or electronic), or other commercial use, or who wishes to make multiple copies, or to use the material on a Web site, will need to contact the CAIN Director (address below) and also the original copyright holder (CAIN may be able to assist with contact details).

The Main Types of Material at the CAIN Site

The material at the CAIN site falls into the following main categories:

Each Web page on CAIN indicates the original author, or the source of the information, and thus who holds the copyright for the material. Each PDF file should also contain this information, or it may be found in the reference in the CAIN Bibliography. CAIN staff may be able to assist users to track down the copyright holder of particular items.

Copyright Clearance Obtained by CAIN

CAIN attempts to obtain copyright permission for all the material which is presented on the site. Where this is not possible a note is added.

Where the CAIN team has been responsible for writing text, or taking photographs, then the copyright rests with CAIN and Ulster University. Anyone wishing to make multiple copies, or to use the material at a Web site, or to reproduce the material commercially, should contact the CAIN Director (address below).

Where CAIN has commissioned text or photographs especially for the CAIN Web site then the copyright rests with the person named on the particular page. Anyone wishing to make multiple copies, or to use the material at a Web site, or reproduce the material commercially, should contact the CAIN Director (address below) first and then the author.

Where the material was obtained from an existing publication, the CAIN Project Team have obtained permission from the author and the publisher to include the extracts in question at the CAIN Web site. This permission does not cover multiple copies, or use at another Web site, or commercial reproduction, by users of the CAIN site. Anyone wishing to make multiple copies, or to use the material at a Web site, or to reproduce the material commercially, should contact contact the CAIN Director (address below) first, and then the author and the publisher.

Anyone using the CAIN service has an implicit right of 'fair dealing' or 'fair use'. Obviously a copy of the material can be stored in electronic form on the user's local computer. It is also acceptable that a single paper copy may be made by the user. Any further use of the material, for example mounting the material at another Web site or publishing the information in another form, is likely to be in breach of copyright and the user will have to obtain explicit permission for such use from the copyright holder.
