dc.description.abstractThrough open licenses the box is opened and your materials are disseminated – for both the copyright holder and copyright user this system is a benefit. Many have written about the benefits of openness and has provided evidence of these benefits. Open licensing might not be the solution in every case but I want to raise your awareness that full copyright is not always the end of it all. There are alternatives to managing copyright and alternatives to using copyrighted images, audio and video. People need to be aware of the copyright exceptions that currently exist and make use of it. Criticism, review, reporting of current events, quotations – these are all copyright exceptions but you need to remember to provide the proper acknowledgements. By being aware of the limitations and exceptions of the law, you can be able to make better decisions and judgements about how you deal with copyright issues as an academic.en_ZA
