• Presenting material at a conference.
• Delivering a lecture open to the public.
• Publishing material in a book/journal/magazine.

How can I use third party copyright material in these situations?

There are several options available:

• Seek permission from the copyright owner for the anticipated use.
• Remove the material completely.
• Replace the material with material available under a suitable licence (e.g. replace images with images available under a Creative Commons licence).
