In addition to which:
VIDEOS, IMAGES & AUDIO RECORDINGS ARE USED UNDER ‘FAIR USAGE UNDER UK COPYRIGHT LAW’
As an exception to British copyright law, fair dealing is governed by sections 29 and 30 of the Copyright, Designs and Patens Act 1988, which outlines three instances where fair dealing is a legitimate defence:
1. If the use is for the purpose of research or private study.
2. If it is used for the purposes of criticism, review or quotation.
3. Where it is utilised for the purposes of reporting current events.

Criticism, review and reporting current events
Fair dealing for criticism, review or quotation is allowed for any type of copyright work.
Fair dealing with a work for the purpose of reporting current events is allowed for any type of copyright work other than a photograph. In each of these cases, a sufficient acknowledgement will be required.
As stated, a photograph cannot be reproduced for the purpose of reporting current events. The intention of the law is to prevent newspapers or magazines reproducing photographs for reporting current events which have appeared in competitor’s publications.
Non-commercial research and private study
You are allowed to copy limited extracts of works when the use is non-commercial research or private study, but you must be genuinely studying (like you would if you were taking a college course). Such use is only permitted when it is ‘fair dealing’ and copying the whole work would not generally be considered fair dealing. The purpose of this exception is to allow students and researchers to make limited copies of all types of copyright works for non-commercial research or private study.
In assessing whether your use of the work is permitted or not you must assess if there is any financial impact on the copyright owner because of your use.
Where the impact is not significant, the use may be acceptable. If your use is for non-commercial research, you must ensure that the work you reproduce is supported by a sufficient acknowledgement.
