Can I Repost It?: a free game about credit and copyright

What is Can I Repost It?

A meme, a song for your video, a stranger's photo, a news screenshot. For each one, choose: credit it, license it, ask first, or skip it. Every answer comes with the general rule behind it.

Can I Repost It? is a free game about the everyday rights questions of social media. For each case, pick one of four actions: credit it, license it, ask first, or skip it.

Every verdict explains the general rule. It's a game, not legal advice: rules differ by country and by platform.

Strategy and tips

Credit isn't permission

Music needs a licence

Use the platform's licensed library or a track you have rights to.

People in photos

A recognisable stranger in a private moment: ask, or skip it.
