OPYRIGHT
LARITY
L A U R A G A R Y - M I C H E L
What is ©opyright and why is it
important to me as an educator?
• ©opyright is a form of protection provided by law in the
United States to authors/creators of “original works of
authorship,” expressed in any tangible medium.
• This protection is available for original works from the
moment they are created and expressed in a tangible
medium, and it applies whether they are published,
unpublished, or registered with the U.S. Copyright office.
• It is important to you as an educator, to keep yourself safe
from breaking copyright law and so you can send your
students out into the world understanding their copyright
responsibilities.
The core purpose of copyright
law is not difficult to find; it is
stated expressly in the
Constitution.
Article I, section 8, clause 8 of
the United States Constitution
provides that Congress shall
have the 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."
Copyright’s for the people,
Copyright’s to promote creativity,
Balancing rights of users
And owners of intellectual
property…….
Copyright, what’s
copyright?
It’s the right of the
owners to control!
Right?
No!
Copyright’s for the
people.
Copyright’s to promote
creativity.
Balancing rights
of users
And owners of
intellectual property.
GI Copyright gives the creators sole rights:
For production,
For adaption,
For distribution,
For public performance, &
For public displays of their work.
Copyright also promotes creativity!
It does this with the addition of The Copyright Act.
The Copyright Act provides that certain kinds of uses
of copyrighted works, called FAIR USES, are
not an infringement of copyright, despite the fact that
their use may involve copying, adapting, performing,
or
displaying the copyrighted work.
FAIR USE IS HERE!
GOOD NEWS!
FAIR USE
IS HERE
Fair use explicitly allows use of
copyrighted material for educational purposes
such as:
*criticism
*comment
*news reporting
*teaching
*scholarship
*research
Fair use is not a blank check to use
anything you like because you are a teacher.
There are four factors to consider when
deducing if use of copyrighted material is a
fair use and thus not an infringement.
Four factors when using FAIR USE:
1. THE PURPOSE AND CHARACTER OF THE USE.
This is the TRANSFORMATIVE FACTOR.
Did you copy the work verbatim or did you transform it and
add new expressions, or create new insight?
2. THE NATURE OF THE WORK.
Is the work factual, nonfiction? If so it is more favorable for Fair Use.
Creative work needs to be closely looked at .
3. THE PROPORTION OF MATERIAL USED.
Less is better! There are no real numerical or percentage limits that are
governed by law. Charts can provide a false sense of security, they are just
suggestions. Important rule of thumb, try not to use the most memorable parts.
4. THE EFFECT OF THE USE ON MARKET VALUE.
Are you depriving the copyright owner of income? Will there be a reduction of in sales
due to copying or redistribution.
HERE’S A QUICK CHART:
USE THIS CHART TO CHECK FOR FAIR USE OR FOR PERMISSION.
REMEMBER A GOOD RULE OF THUMB, IF ONE BOX IS CHECKED IN THE
ASKING PERMISSION ROW, THEN ITS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
HERE ARE A FEW MORE THINGS AS
EDUCATORS, WE SHOULD KNOW:
• We must understand the basics of copyright.
• We have a responsibility to model compliance to copyright.
• We should always ask for permission to use works that are likely not
fair use.
• Asking for permission to use is always a good option.
• We must insure that students use information for projects in an ethical
manner.
• Citing a work is not the same as having permission to use the work.
• Copying a work and changing a few words is not fair use.
• Movies shown as a reward do not qualify as fair use.
• Rampant duplication of materials instead of purchasing instructional
materials is not fair use (effect on the market).
LET’S TEST OUR
UNDERSTANDING?
Scenario:
1) The Gaming Club at your high school wants
to throw a fundraiser and show a marathon of
Naruto cartoons on the big screen, What do
you say?
2) A teacher or student prepares and gives a
presentation that displays photographs.
Permission was not obtained to use the
photographs. Can they do this legally?
3) A student creates a prezi for a class
presentation. There is a copyrighted popular
song playing in the background of the prezi.
Is this okay?
WERE YOU RIGHT?
Scenario:
1) No, because it infringes the copyright
owner's right to market the work.
2) Yes, thank you fair use. Copyrighted
photographs may be used for instruction.
3) Yes, thank you fair use. Copyrighted music
may be used for instruction.
