You must attribute any materials created by other people that you reproduce on your website.

HOW TO GET PERMISSION In order to get permission to reproduce someone else copyright work, you must find the owner and ask. To help educators determine when off-air taping is and is not a fair use, set of concrete guidelines were created. Officially known as "Guidelines for Off-Air Recording of Broadcast Programming for Educational Purposes." The guidelines do not have the force of law and have never been tested in the courts. However, most copyright experts believe that taping that falls within the guidelines is permissible and would be upheld as a fair use if challenged in court. The guidelines apply only to off-air taping by nonprofit educational institutions, including all public schools and most private schools and colleges. A classroom teacher who wants a particular program taped should ask the school to record it. The recording may be shown only during the first ten consecutive school days after it is made, and only in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction. A recording may be shown to several classes if appropriate. The recording may not be altered in any way. For example, recordings may not be edited to create an anthology or compilation.
