QuestionI design some artistic websites where any additional text would be very disturbing, and I wonder if in such cases, it is fine to collect the attributions in a list in the disclaimer?Lahaina Araneta, Esq. is an Immigration Attorney based in Los Angeles, California.

So long as it is obvious enough to make it clear that the work does not belong to the user, it may be okay. It can also be shortened to make it less "disturbing." TASL is a good acronym to use when giving credit. This stands for Title, Author, Source, and License.

QuestionHow do you credit a photo used in a video? At the end, or overlayed on top of the photo?Lahaina Araneta, Esq. is an Immigration Attorney based in Los Angeles, California. She has been practicing law since 2012 and has worked at LMG Law since 2014, where she specializes in employment and family-based immigration.

In law school, she participated in the immigrant justice practicum and served as a volunteer with several nonprofit agencies.All that matters is that you credit the item within the media itself. For example, you could include a complete list of attributions at the end of the video, or you could include an audio recording of the attributions at the end. For example, you could write, "Video example 1: "Science Commons" by Jesse Dylan - see attribution starting at 1:52."
