Public Domain: Creative works that are no longer under copyright protection because intellectual property rights have expired, have been forfeited, or are inapplicable. Although attribution is not compulsory, it is recommended to attribute creator upon reuse.
'Fair Dealing' and the Singapore Copyright Act: Under the provisions of the Copyright Act, copying the whole or a part of a copyrighted work is permissible as long as it is a 'fair dealing'. Fair dealing can include dealings for non-profit educational purposes. Generally speaking, students should be able to use copyrighted images for course-related projects and presentations, as long as proper attribution is given. However, questions arise when one intends to widely distribute information - even if it is not for commercial purposes. When in doubt, always search for and use images in the public domain or those licensed under Creative Commons. Want to read the Copyright Act for yourself? Visit this link.
