Users must identify the copyright status of all work deposited to ASU Media+
Reuse Permission
Copyright holders can prescribe how and when others can reuse their materials. Creative Commons licenses provide an international standard which empower creators to give explicit permissions to potential users with guidelines for receiving attribution for their work.
When sharing work that is not copyrighted by the depositor, the depositor must identify and share the work under the same creative commons license designated by the copyright owner.
The Terms of Deposit agreement allows users to designate eight reuse licenses. Users are responsible for designating how the work can be reused with a creative commons license, to identify work in the public domain, or to retain all rights with no reuse for their own work.
