This document discusses copyright and fair use as it relates to using digital media in the classroom. It summarizes that copyright holders have exclusive rights over reproduction and distribution of their works, but fair use allows for exceptions for purposes of teaching, research, and criticism. However, fair use is determined based on four factors and there are no clear guidelines around how much use is considered fair. While the DMCA protects against circumventing technological protections of works, fair use is still permitted. The document cautions educators to be careful but also allows freedom in using digital media for educational purposes.
