Copyright began in 1710 with Britain's first copyright statute, which was continued by the US Copyright Act of 1790. Copyright law protects original works by giving owners exclusive rights over the reproduction, distribution, public performance, and display of copyrighted work. There are exceptions for fair use, including use for nonprofit educational purposes, as well as limitations on copyright term lengths depending on when the work was created. Educators have additional allowances for incorporating copyrighted works into face-to-face and digital teaching under fair use and acts like the TEACH Act, but must be mindful of amount used and effect on the original work. Infringement can result in fines up to $150,000.
