Is it an infringement to put other people's works on the Internet without obtaining permission?
Yes, unless:
one
of the exceptions applies;
an
insubstantial amount of the work is being used;
the
copyright in the work has expired; or
the
work contains a copyright notice explicitly stating that your proposed use of the work (i.e.
digitising and distributing electronically to the public) is permitted, or an implied licence can be
demonstrated.
