COPYRIGHT AND PERMISSION INFORMATION

While IDEA is intended as a free resource for personal dialect research, the copyright on the archive recordings and text files rests with IDEA. You may download the recordings and text files to your computer for your individual, personal use without special permission. However, you may make no hard copy, nor distribute any digital file without the express written consent of IDEA and the payment of a fee appropriate to the intended use.

The following examples are provided as a guide:

You may cite the URL of an IDEA recording or text file in the text of any book, article, paper, training manual, or lecture, etc. without special permission (e.g. http://www.ku.edu/~idea/europe/england/england59.mp3), though you may not include a hard copy or digital file, nor quote from a text file, without special permission and the payment of an appropriate fee.

You may play an IDEA recording or text file in a lecture, class, training session, or workshop directly from the internet, or your students may do so from their own individual terminals, without obtaining special permission; but distributing copies of them either by disc or by digital file, requires special permission and the payment of an appropriate fee.

If you wish to request special permission, or are in doubt about whether your intended use requires it, please write with all the details to the address below:
