- Copyright law protects both unpublished and published original works and grants authors immediate protection upon creation of a work. - While authors hold the copyright, the first sale doctrine allows owners of a physical copy to display, sell, or dispose of that copy, though the work itself cannot be reproduced without authorization. - Works enter the public domain when the copyright expires, is dedicated by the owner, or the owner fails to renew the copyright. Works created after 1978 have copyright protection for the life of the author plus 70 years. - Fair use and the TEACH Act provide exceptions that allow limited use of copyrighted works for purposes like education, research, commentary, and news reporting.

2. The Basics of Copyright
 Covers both
unpublished and
published works.
 It protects the
authors of original
works.

3. What is copyright law?
 The author has immediate protection the
moment their work is created.
 I do not own my wedding
photos. The photographer that took my
pictures at my wedding owns my
wedding photographs.

4. The First Sale Doctrine
 An owner or individual
has the right to display,
sell, or dispose of
copyrighted work.
 Copyrighted work may
not be reproduced
without authorization.

5. Public Domain
 Work that is not protected by copyright law,
 An expired copyright,
 The owner of a copyright dedicates their work,
or
 The owner fails to renew the copyright.
This is how works arrive in the public domain.

6. Duration of Copyright
 Any piece of work that was
created on or after January 1, 1978 will
be covered under the terms of
copyright protection from the time the
author created it until 70 years
after the death of the author.

7. Fair Use
 Allows the usage of
works that are copyright
protected in such cases
as research,
commentary, news
reporting, and
education.

8. The TEACH Act
 In addition to fair use, educators
have a set of rights.
 In the classroom, educators may display
and perform any work under copyright
law.
