Implied licences
An implied copyright licence arises where all the circumstances suggest that the copyright owner expected their copyright material to be used in the way contemplated.  Some people claim that anything which is published on the web is fair game and therefore the subject of an implied licence.  This is not the legal position.  It is only possible to argue that an implied licence exists where all the circumstances suggest the copyright owner expected the copyright material to be used in the way contemplated.
