There are several things one can do to avoid copyright infringement when creating digital content. Before you start work, always review the publisher's guidelines or license agreement for a given source of creative material to make sure your usage is legal. If unsure, it is best to err on the side of caution and don't use it. Another important tip to remember is that permission is required from the copyright owner for any use of material you did not generate yourself, including blogs, websites, videos and presentations. Also try to give credit where it’s due by providing footnotes and attribution as appropriate – this allows others to follow up on resources and gain deeper knowledge on any topics they come across while building their own work online. Finally—and probably most importantly—avoid duplicating someone else's artwork or text straight from its original context; even if your intentions may be benevolent, proper citations will always create a smoother path!

1. Determine if the content you wish to use is copyrighted. 
2. When looking for sources of public domain materials, consider websites run by libraries and archives. 
3. Make sure to give credit to the authors of content you used, either through direct links or appropriate citation methods such as MLA or APA style. 
4. Before copying and distributing any content, ask yourself if it would be considered an "advertisement for sale or lease", "fair use", educational permission granted by copyright holder”, or “other special arrangement”. If the answer is not clear, check with a trusted legal advisor before proceeding.
