How much can I copy and
communicate?
Teachers can copy and communicate text works as long as the amount copied or
communicated “does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests” of the copyright
owner.
• Not a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
• Flexibility – you can copy and communicate the amount you need, where to do so
would cause no harm to the copyright owner.
• The ‘10% or one chapter rule’ is still a useful guide in making this assessment for
many text resources that are still commercially available.
• For other works, such as older ‘out of print’ works, or works made available on the
internet without any expectation of payment, teachers may be able to copy more (or
even all).

Flexible dealing (s 200AB)
• If you want to use text or artistic works in a way not permitted by the statutory
licences or other specific exceptions under the Copyright Act, you may be able
to rely on the “flexible dealing” exception in s 200AB.
• This exception permits TAFEs to make limited use of copyright material for free,
for educational instruction, if the use satisfies a number of criteria. You must
assess your proposed use against those criteria on a case-by-case basis.
o TAFEs commonly rely on this exception to copy audio (eg iTunes music)
and audio-visual content (eg YouTube videos).
o If the material can be purchased in the format needed, then you must
purchase it rather than relying on section 200AB.

4 March 2021
Flexible dealing - guidelines
Your use must not conflict with the normal exploitation of the material
If you can buy the material in the format you need within a reasonable time, or obtain a licence for your proposed
use on reasonable terms, then you must do that instead of relying on the flexible dealing exception.
If you are unable to buy or license the material, you may be able to rely on the flexible dealing exception provided
you:
• ensure no further copies or downloads can be made (eg if you are uploading content to the
TAFE digital teaching environment (DTE), make sure it is view only)
• limit access to the students/classes that need it for the specific instructional purpose (eg if you are
uploading a film to the DTE for a journalism class, only make it available to the students in that class)
• only use the amount of material that you need (eg if you only need to show students an extract of
a film, you won’t be able to rely on the flexible dealing exception to copy the entire film)
• only make the material available for the time needed for the course of study (eg if students need to
access an excerpt of a documentary on the DTE for a course on marine biology, archive or disable access
by students to the documentary once it is no longer needed by the students).

TAFE teachers will only be able to rely on the fair dealing exception in limited circumstances (ie
it must be for their own research and study and not the research and study of their students).
However, TAFE students using musical works and or sound recordings as part of their study,
will generally be able to rely on the fair dealing exception for research and study. For example,
TAFE students may be able to rely on the fair dealing exception to use musical works and sound
recordings in an assignment as part of a ‘Sound and Music’ course. See Copyright Exceptions.

Using music outside the TAFE
classroom (NSW, QLD, ACT, TAS)
From 1 January 2021, TAFEs in NSW, QLD, ACT
and TAS can rely on the TAFE Music Licence with
APRA AMCOS, ARIA and PPCA to perform musical
works live (eg a live performance by a TAFE band)
and use sound recordings in different ways outside
the classroom environment.
73

For example, TAFEs can:
• perform/play a musical work live at TAFE events (eg a TAFE band playing live at a TAFE Open
Day)
• play a sound recording at TAFE events (eg use recorded music in a TAFE fashion show)
• play a sound recording as background music in TAFE businesses (eg TAFE training restaurants,
fitness centres or cafes)
• play a sound recording as background music in TAFE workplaces (eg staff rooms, TAFE offices)
• incorporate a sound recording into another work (eg adding music to a PowerPoint presentation)
• live stream TAFE events at which a musical work is performed or sound recording played from a
TAFE’s social media platform (eg Facebook Live and YouTube), however it is still possible that
the performance may be muted or blocked.
74

4 March 2021
Recording your TAFE event
TAFEs can:
• record TAFE events that include the performance of a musical work live or a sound
recording
• authorise a third party (eg a professional videographer hired to film a TAFE fashion
show or graduation ceremony) to make a recording of a TAFE event on its behalf
• use the recording in the ways listed below.
75

4 March 2021
What can I do with the recording of our TAFE event?
TAFEs can do the following with the recording of their TAFE event(s):
• upload the recording to the TAFE website and/or DTE
• upload the recording to educational apps being used for TAFE communications (eg
Skillslocker)
• email a digital copy of the recording to the TAFE community (students and parents)
• provide a physical copy to the TAFE community (for example, on a USB device)
• upload the recording to the TAFE’s official social media page (although where a
musical work or sound recording is played at the TAFE event the post may still be
taken down).
76

4 March 2021
Incorporating sound recordings into other works
TAFEs can incorporate a sound recording into another unrelated work (eg add a
backing track to a PowerPoint presentation or to a video of a graduation ceremony).
TAFEs can then:
• upload the recording to the TAFE website, password protected intranet or
password protected DTE
• email or provide a physical copy of the recording to students and their families
• upload the recording to an educational app (for example ‘SkillsLocker’).
Note, however, the TAFE cannot upload this work to social media.
77

4 March 2021
Live streaming your TAFE event
TAFEs can live stream events, where a musical work is performed live and/or a sound
recording is played, in real time from TAFE social media platforms (such as Facebook
or YouTube).
However, for live streams where a musical work or sound recording is being played on
social media, it is still possible that the performance may be blocked or muted.
78

4 March 2021
classroom (WA, SA, NT)
• TAFEs in WA, SA and NT are not currently covered under the new TAFE Music Licence.
• If TAFEs in these jurisdictions want to use music in ways not covered by the exceptions in the
Copyright Act, they will need to obtain specific licences from OneMusic (APRA and PPCA) or directly
from the copyright owner, or use music from other resources.
• Some common activities you will need to obtain licences for:
o fashion shows, open days or graduation ceremonies
o TAFE businesses such as fitness centres, restaurants and hair salons
o TAFE corporate areas (eg staff rooms, reception areas)
o telephone on hold music.
• It is a good idea for TAFEs to contact their local copyright manager to see if their TAFE has
OneMusic licences in place for these activities.
79

4 March 2021
classroom (WA, SA, NT)
There may be instances where TAFEs in these jurisdictions can use alternative
sources of music such as:
• free music available under Creative Commons licences or
• alternative music licences to those offered by OneMusic (eg Audio Network,
Visual Sounds and Music on Hold).
80

4 March 2021
Creative Commons music
(all TAFEs)
TAFEs in all jurisdictions can use CC musicals works and sound recordings free of charge
provided you comply with the terms of the CC licence.
There are several websites that license musical works and sound recordings under a CC
licence, including:
• SoundCloud – online sharing platform with option to filter search results for CC content
• Vimeo – online community with option to search for CC content
• CC Mixter – CC sound remix tool and archive
• Op Sound – CC music archive
• Magnatune – CC Record label
• Jamendo – CC music distribution site
• Freesound – collaborative data base of CC licensed sounds.

WORKSHOP 1
4 March 2021

4 March 2021
Case study 1 – Text and artistic works
Josie, a social work teacher, is preparing a teaching resource. She:
1. photocopies pages from a textbook to hand out to students in her class
2. uploads a list of website links to the TAFE LMS for her students to access
3. prints an illustration from the internet for each student in her class
4. scans and uploads to the TAFE LMS an entire textbook that is no longer in print and it is not
commercially available
5. downloads other people's lecture notes, student quizzes and worksheets from a subscription site
(eg the Learning and Teaching Sustainability site)
6. copies a textbook and modifies it by changing the size of the text and the contrast of the colours for
a student who is visually impaired.
Is Josie allowed to do each of the activities? If yes, are there any restrictions on how she can use it (eg
consider copying limits, labelling requirements)?
84

4 March 2021
Case study 2 – Films, videos and
broadcasts
Samantha is a librarian who has been asked by teachers in her TAFE if they are allowed to:
1. create a teaching resource that includes YouTube clips
2. play a film from Netflix to a class for educational purposes via an interactive whiteboard
3. make a digital version of a DVD
4. caption videos for students with hearing disabilities
5. upload two minutes of a film onto the TAFE LMS and provide students access to it for use in an
online exam, when the film is commercially available on Google Play
6. record a copy broadcast of a free-to-air TV program to play it to the class.
What should Samantha tell them? Are these activities covered by an exception? If so, please
specify which.
Are there any other restrictions that may limit the application of the copyright exception relied on?
85

4 March 2021
Case study 3 – Music

Commercial
Activities and
Seeking Permission
4 March 2021

4 March 2021
Commercial activities
1. Can TAFEs sell materials created under the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence?
A TAFE is permitted to rely on the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence, provided the
materials copied under the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence are provided at no more
than cost, ie the sale price only covers the physical production of the materials and/or other direct
costs, and does not include a profit margin.
2. Can TAFEs rely on the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence to copy materials,
which are provided at cost, when delivering a professional development course for a
commercial client?
A TAFE is permitted to rely on the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence, provided the
materials copied under the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence are provided at no more
than cost, ie the sale price only covers the physical production of the materials and/or other direct
costs, and does not include a profit margin.
88

4 March 2021
3. Can TAFEs rely on the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence in preparing course
materials for ‘hobby courses’ and non-accredited courses?
Yes, as long as the courses are provided as part of the TAFE institute’s educational purposes and
the materials are provided at no more than cost.
4. Can TAFEs rely on the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence to copy class materials
for TAFE students based in other countries, where course delivery takes place overseas?
It does not make a difference where the course is delivered (eg at the campus or at an external
location). TAFEs can rely on the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence so long as:
• the students are undertaking a course conducted by the Australian TAFE institute
• any print materials are copied in Australia, and digital materials are stored and uploaded to a
server from Australia.
It does not matter whether the students are taught by staff of the TAFE institute or by local
teachers overseas.
89

4 March 2021
5. Can TAFEs rely on the Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence in preparing course
materials for a mainstream course if there are full paying students undertaking the
course?
Yes, as long as the courses are provided as part of the TAFE institute’s educational purposes
and the materials are provided at no more than cost.
6. Can TAFEs provide for a fee, course materials which include content copied under the
Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence to another TAFE institute in another jurisdiction
or a commercial entity (eg for in-house training)?
Yes, as long as the courses are provided as part of the TAFE institute’s educational purposes
and the materials are provided at no more than cost.
90

4 March 2021
7. If content is available under a ‘non-commercial only’ Creative Commons licence, does
this allow a TAFE to use it in course materials for courses where students are charged
more than the actual cost of producing the resources?
No, as the materials are being supplied for financial profit.
8. Where a TAFE and a private RTO share delivery of a course, can educational Statutory
Text and Artistic Works Licence materials be used in the course materials?
Yes, this is allowed.
9. Where a TAFE offers vocational courses to school students, can the course materials
incorporate educational Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence materials?
Yes, if the course is provided by the TAFE institute. However, only the TAFE (not the RTO) can
use Statutory Text and Artistic Works Licence material.
For more information, see https://smartcopying.edu.au/faqs/commercial-activities-in-tafe/.

Seeking permission and consents
Seeking permission Consent from students
TAFE institutes only need to seek permission from the
copyright owner when:
• they are not able to rely on a statutory or voluntary
licence or educational use exception to use material
in the way they intend (eg if uploading resource to a
public TAFE website)
• the material is not licensed under Creative
Commons.
To seek permission, you will need to:
• figure out who the copyright owner is
• write/email them to seek permission.
Consent is required from a student (or their guardian) if a
TAFE is using material created by students and/or using
photos or videos of students internally (eg on a password
protected digital teaching environment (DTE) or classroom)
or externally (eg on the TAFE website or social media
platforms such as Facebook or YouTube):
• in class activities
• in documents, newsletters, displays, journals,
professional development materials used internally or
externally
• as part of marketing materials for the TAFE (eg an
information booklet, poster or on the TAFE website).
For information about when permission is required and sample permission requests, see https://smartcopying.edu.au/guidelines/permissions-and-consents/.

4 March 2021
Applying a CC licence to your
learning resources
• TAFEs are encouraged to use CC licensed resources as well as
licence learning resources they create under CC, where possible.
• This is because teachers can do more with CC licensed material and it
is free to access, use, modify and share.
• For more information on how to do this, see
https://smartcopying.edu.au/applying-a-creative-commons-licence/.

Applying a CC licence to your
learning resources
1. Issues and concerns around licensing TAFE learning resources under CC:
o improper attribution of TAFE owned materials
o competition between education providers.
2. Possible solutions to these issues and concerns:
o be very clear with your attribution requirements. Attribution is a condition
of all CC licences.
o consider the SA licence.
3. Get in touch with the NCU for additional guidance and help.
122

4 March 2021
Which CC licence?
• CC BY is recommended where you are happy with anyone using your material
as it allows for the greatest possible reuse of licensed material provided you
attribute the material.
• CC BY SA (Share Alike) if you have some concerns about how your material
will be used, CC BY SA is recommended. This licence allows others to use the
material in a new resource provided the new resource is made available under
the same licence. Selling content for cost recovery or commercial purposes is
allowed under this licence.
• CC BY NC SA (Non-Commercial, Share Alike) is recommended if you do not
wish for your material to be used for profit. Under this licence, any new material
using your material cannot be sold for commercial purposes and in addition the
new material must be made available under the same licence.
123

4 March 2021
Adding a CC licence to learning
resources
To license a learning resource that you’ve created under CC, all you have to do is:
1. choose your CC licence: https://creativecommons.org/choose/
2. copy the CC Licence icon
3. paste the icon onto the resource along with the attribution information
and/or any other notice you would like to include and
4. include a copyright statement on the resource to reflect the CC licence.
All Creative Commons Licence icons, can be found on the Creative Commons
Licence Chooser website: https://creativecommons.org/choose/.
124

4 March 2021
Adding a CC licence to learning
resources
Then include a copyright statement on your resource. Here’s some examples:
• © NSW Technical and Further Education Commission (TAFE NSW) – [Agency name], 2020.
Except as otherwise noted, this [insert learning resource title] is licensed under the Creative
Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Licence. To view a copy of this licence,

The copyright statement and CC licence can be placed on the first and/or last page of your
learning resource or in the footer of the resource so that it travels onto every page.
125

4 March 2021
Third party content
• You cannot apply a Creative Commons licence to third party as you do
not have the rights.
• For all third party content, you must prominently mark or indicate in a
notice that this content is excluded from the Creative Commons
licence.
• Learning resources that include third party content cannot go on a
public website. Must be password protected.
126
https://smartcopying.edu.au/how-to-label-third-party-content-in-creative-
commons-licensed-material/

4 March 2021
How to label third party content
There is no single correct way to label third party content, and different situations
may require more or less complicated notices and marking.
There are 2 often used mechanisms:
1. Giving a notice next to third party content: this involves marking or
notating all third party content. To do this you should indicate directly
underneath the content.
Or
2. Giving a general notice listing all third party content: this involves giving
a general notice that identifies all third party content. This notice would usually
be included in your terms of use or copyright statement for a website or in the
verso page or bibliography for a work.

Case study 5 – Creative Commons
Manuel is preparing teaching resources for his urban planning course. He finds
some great material by Amelia Blue that is licensed under a CC BY ND licence. He
wants to:
1. copy the material and use it as part of his teaching resources.
2. make changes to it, including substantially editing the content.
3. upload Amelia’s material to a public urban planning website.
4. adapt his teaching resources into a publication that he will sell.
Are these activities okay? How should Manuel attribute Amelia Blue?

Smartcopying tips
Label – always attribute the source.
• All material created and used for educational
purposes should be properly attributed.
• Attributing is important to ensure that we don't pay
licence fees for material we already own or are
allowed to use – eg school created content.
• Attribution should include details of:
o the copyright owner and/or author
o where the material was sourced from
o when it was sourced.

Smartcopying tips
Limit – ensure access to material is
limited to the relevant staff/students only
• Once material is communicated to an entire
school/campus or jurisdiction, the risk of
copyright infringement increases.
• Collecting societies believe that the value of
content increases with the number of people who
can access it.
• Limiting access is important for cost and risk
management.
