Copyright protection is afforded by the Act to all graphic works such as paintings, sculptures, photographs, slides etc. and each category is protected in its own right e.g. a photograph of a painting represents two distinct categories to which copyright protection is offered.   Permission is also required to incorporate copyright-protected slides, music or video footage into film or video productions made by schools.

All three-dimensional works regardless of “artistic quality” are protected by the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act against copying in any medium (i.e. model, photograph, drawing etc.).

Highland Council staff seeking general copyright information should check “Copyright-Staff Guidance” under the “Staff Information” heading on the Highland Council Intranet.   For public library copyright issues please contact Norman Newton at the Library Support Unit.
