Legal issues - Copyright

Have you used images or words on your web page or website that contravene copyright laws?

After viewing the copyright website and Curtin's copyright policy I think so far I have not used any words or images that contravene copyright laws.

Images
I have got only one photo of my kids which is my copyright if so also.
I do not think according to the copyright website and curtin policy the screen shots attached are against the copyright policies.
The images I uploaded for the HTML tag task I presume is intended for that purpose and should not be against copyright.

Words

Any words or materials I used for my concept assignment is referenced fully to my best knowledge in the bibiliography. Other than that I normaly like to write on my own words any of my experiences and or answers to my tasks.

Would you be in breach of copyright if you put the Curtin logo at the top of your web page for an assignment?

Yes I guess I would be. My reasoning behind this is Curtin logo is only to be used by Curtin Uni staff who has the authority to use it on their correspondance or doucment and it is a breach or illegal issue to use by a student. Students do not have the legal status the staff has in a Uni so it will be a breach of copyright to put in an assignment.
