Part III. Digital Media and Storytelling in Research ] 123 protected by copyright if they are of an individual and are original in nature, and therefore copyright rules must be observed whether the creator is in the position of an author or user. If the creator uses their own content, he or she can indicate on the last slide of the digital story with which Creative Commons (CC) license they authorize further sharing and use. They can also specify whether their own content can be used for commercial purposes, which is partly an area related to property rights. The creator can also decide whether the distribution or broadcasting of his digital story can bring benefit to the distributor. In the context of moral rights, the creator can decide - even under Creative Commons licenses — the extent and conditions of the publication of his digital story, whether or not his name should be mentioned, and whether the integrity of his digital story should be protected. At the end of the DST process, workshop participants should be offered the opportunity to state to what extent they would like to make their digital story public. The facilitator may offer several options, such as allowing the digital story to only be screened in front of workshop participants or to be used for research purposes; the creator may also choose to use the broadest category of publicity. The integrity of a work must be protected when the creator does not consent to its use or presentation in a fragmented manner or in contexts other than those originally inteded. Article 13 of the Copyright Act (hereinafter ‘the Copyright Act’) states that “Moral rights of the author are infringed by the distortion, mutilation or any other alteration of or other derogatory action in relation to his work which prejudices the honor or reputation of the author.” Under copyright protection, the author has the exclusive right to make any use, in any material or non-material form, of the whole or any identifiable part of the work and to authorize each use (§ 16(1)). The exception to this is in cases of so-called free use ($§ 33-41 of the Copyright Act), such as when the author does not indicate with a CC license ‘only non-commercial uses’ (©). With regard to copyright, Lanszki and Horvath (2017) emphasize that the facilitator should always inform participants that the copyright of the images and music used in digital stories and the privacy rights of the persons in the images must be taken into account by the creator. In the event of any legal dispute, the creator must take responsibility for any improper use and the facilitator cannot be held liable. If an educational institution publishes a digital story of its pupils on its website or social media platform, the school itself is using the copyrighted work - by making it available to the public unless there is a case of free use. It is therefore of the utmost importance to raise awareness ofthe appropriate procedure when using the works of others. The correct procedure is for the creator to refer to the music or images from external sources on the last slide of the digital story, indicating the exact details of the sources (author, title, host work/journal and, if available, the year of creation).
