The Criminal Journal is a website that contains some copyrighted images of murder victims that have not precisely been authorized by the owner.
We conduct research about the individuals in the photos to teach the public about the dark underbelly of the criminal world, so they would not become the next victims.
We believe this constitutes a fair use of any copyrighted material provided on The Criminal journal, according to Section 107 of the Copyright Act:
“The fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.”
If you want to use any of the images on our website that go beyond fair use, you must obtain permission from the copyright owner.
