Can I use images or videos from other websites on my website in Arizona? What are the requirements?

Using Images or Videos from Other Websites in Arizona

If you want to use images or videos from other websites on your website in Arizona, you need to consider the following:

  1. Copyright Law: You must ensure that you have the legal right to use the images or videos. Copyright law protects original works of authorship, including images and videos. If you use someone else’s work without permission, you may be liable for copyright infringement [3.1].
  2. Commercial Use: If you intend to use the images or videos for any commercial purpose, you must notify the Library and Archives and pay the charges required in A.R.S. § 39-121.03 [3.1].
  3. Privacy: If the images or videos contain personal information, such as a mugshot, you must ensure that you are not violating any laws related to privacy. For example, a mugshot website operator may not use criminal justice records or the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other information contained in criminal justice records for the purpose of soliciting business for pecuniary gain, including requiring the payment of a fee or other valuable consideration in exchange for removing or revising criminal justice records that have been published on a website or other publication [1.1].
  4. Arizona Highways Magazine Fund: If you want to use images or videos from the Arizona Highways Magazine, you may need to obtain permission and pay any required fees. The Arizona Highways Magazine Fund is established to promote tourism in Arizona, and the director may spend monies from the state highway fund to encourage tourist travel to and through the state by giving publicity to points and places of historic interest, climatic and recreational advantages, the possibilities of successful pursuits and industrial enterprises and other information that in the opinion of the director tends to attract visitors to this state. The publicity shall be given through the medium of the magazine “Arizona Highways” and the publication of maps, pamphlets and other descriptive material designed to carry out the purposes of this article [2.1][2.2].

In summary, you must ensure that you have the legal right to use the images or videos, pay any required charges, not violate any laws related to privacy, and obtain permission and pay any required fees if using images or videos from the Arizona Highways Magazine.
