Copyright of third parties
New standards released
The New Zealand Government Web Standards 2.0 were released in March 2009 and replace the previous version, the New Zealand Government Web Standards 1.0. See Meeting the standards for more information.
Standard
Any agency that has a website containing third party copyright material must have permission from the copyright owner(s) to reproduce that material.
The source and copyright status of such material must be stated in an appropriate place on the agency’s website so as to avoid ambiguity as to which content items are subject to third party copyright.
The agency’s website must also contain a statement (eg, in its copyright statement) that permission to utilise such material cannot be given by the agency.
Note
- The copyright of third parties statement, or a link to it, must be placed on the About this site page.
- The copyright of third parties statement may be combined with the copyright statement, or exist separately.
