Yes, but there are a few rules (see below).
Things you can share, AKA 鈥渟hareables鈥� normally have one or more of these buttons next to them:
- Share
- Embed
- Social media buttons for posting to Facebook, Twitter and so on.
Rules about sharing 麻豆社 content
We don鈥檛 always own the copyright for shareables. Sometimes we have to get a licence or permission from the people who made it. So please stick to these rules. Otherwise the people who make content for us won鈥檛 want to again.
You鈥檒l need to get our permission first for any business use, and you might have to pay a fee. For business use read this.
Things you can do
Use sharing buttons
To share a link to our content on your website or social media.
When you share to a social media platform their terms will apply. Do read their terms (which you can search for online).
Embed our player on your website or social media
Just don鈥檛:
- Change how the player works
- Take content out of it
- Embed any content that doesn鈥檛 have an embed button.
Different rules apply for using iPlayer. Read about them here.
Post comments and views about our shareables
Just as long as they鈥檙e not evil.
Things you can't do
Don鈥檛 use shareables for harmful or offensive purposes
Here are some things that may harm or offend:
- Insulting, misleading, discriminating or defaming people
- Promoting pornography, tobacco or weapons
- Putting children at risk
- Anything illegal. Like using hate speech, inciting terrorism or breaking privacy law
- Anything that would harm the 麻豆社鈥檚 reputation.
Don鈥檛 make shareables look like they cost money
You can't charge others for using our shareables. If you put them on a site that charges, say they鈥檙e free-to-view.
Don鈥檛 make them more prominent than non-麻豆社 content
Otherwise it might look like we鈥檙e endorsing you. And don鈥檛 make a service of your own that contains only our shareables.
Don鈥檛 exaggerate your relationship with the 麻豆社
Don鈥檛 say we endorse, promote, supply or approve of you. Don鈥檛 use shareables for political purposes. And don鈥檛 say you have exclusive access to our content.
Don鈥檛 associate 麻豆社 content with advertising or sponsorship
That means you can鈥檛:
- Put any other content between the link to the shareable and the shareable itself. So no ads or short videos people have to sit through
- Put ads next to or over them
- Put any ads in a web page or app that contain mostly shareables
- Put ads related to their subject alongside shareables. So no trainer ads with a shareable about shoes
- Add extra content that means you鈥檇 earn money from them.
Don鈥檛 be misleading about where they came from
Don鈥檛 remove or alter the copyright notice, or imply that someone else made them.
Things you must do
Use the latest version. Don鈥檛 remove any embedded tagging or tracking. And make sure the content is displayed accurately.
Add one of these credits (if it doesn鈥檛 already have one):
- Source 鈥�
- 鈥� 漏 copyright [the year goes here] 麻豆社
If possible, add a hyperlink to the shareable鈥檚 original location. Make sure it works, and don鈥檛 put anything between the credit and the link.
