1. What is copyright and what doesit protect?

It is created by the law so that the creator of a piece of work that they have created gets the exclusive rights to its use and distribution.

2. How can you use ‘Copyright Hub’ to get permission to use images?

3. What are the organisations that you can contact to gain access to use images legally?

They give information on people to contact about how to get right to use different things from; music, images, text, video and multimedia. It also allows you to find the owner of the image by using a tool called picscout which is a software that lets you upload an image and it gives you the author of that work.

There are a few organisations you can contact such as; BAPLA, BBC picture library, gettyimages and DACS Database, this is good because there is a range of organisations with different ways to use images legally.

I found this on a website that allowed me to download the image in a different amount of sizes which was good because I was able to find a decent size to use for my front cover. Source :- http://www.hdwallpapers.in/geralt_of_rivia_in_the_witcher_3_wild_hunt-wallpapers.html
