    1. STEVEN W. ANDERSON DISTRICT INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGIST DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA/TECHNOLOGY STOKES COUNTY SCHOOLS Can You “Copy” That? Copyright and How It Should Be Applied In School Settings
    2. What Is Copyright? Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States, (title17 U.S. Code), to the authors of “original works of authorship” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. Almost everything created privately and originally after March 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not.
    3. Patent and Copyright Clause The Congress shall have Power … To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries … U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8
    4. What is NOT Copyrighted?
        • Logical, comprehensive compilations, (such as the telephone book).
        • Materials or reprints of materials in the public domain, (all prior to 1923, most between 1923-1963). Additional information at
        • http://www.unc.edu/~uncing/public-d.htm
        • Most U.S. government materials, (some items created by contractors for the government might be copyrighted).
        • Facts
    5. What is Fair Use?
      • Sec. 107 of the Fair Use Provision of the Copyright Act states:
      • “ Limitations on exclusive right: Fair use.
      • Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of 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.”
    6. The law offers four factors to evaluate and balance in any determination of fair use:
      • The purpose of the use, including a nonprofit educational purpose;
      • The nature of the work;
      • The amount of the work copied;
      • The effect of the copying on the potential market for, or the value of, the original work.
      From: Copyright Essentials for Librarians and Educators, by Kenneth D. Crews, 2000 Fair Use
