Copyright Compliance

Material accessed from the BCC website is in essence “published” on the Internet and can be read from thousands of terminals. Website managers will ensure compliance with all current copyright rules and regulations. All use of copyrighted material will be in compliance with BCC Policy #3600: “Copyright and the Right of Fair Use.” Before posting any information on a BCC website, the website manager will:

  1. Obtain written permission from the copyright holder to display text or graphics, or provide access to software that is owned by someone else.
  2. Identify any copyrighted materials (including those held by internal BCC persons or entities) by displaying the word “Copyright,” the copyright symbol (©), the year, and the name of the copyright holder on the document.
  3. The BCC logo is a registered trademark and is available for use on official websites only.
