13. Digital Law
 Digital law deals with the ethics of technology within a society.
Unethical use manifests itself in form of theft and/or crime. Ethical use
manifests itself in the form of abiding by the laws of society. Users
need to understand that stealing or causing damage to other people’s
work, identity, or property online is a crime. There are certain rules of
society that users need to be aware in a ethical society. These laws apply
to anyone who works or plays online. Hacking into others information,
downloading illegal music, plagiarizing, creating destructive worms,
viruses or creating Trojan Horses, sending spam, or stealing anyone’s
identify or property is unethical.

“Fair use allows educators the right to use copyrighted
material in their classroom”
AGREE DISAGREE

16. Can I Use Justin Bieber’s latest song in my video?
 It depends on how the video is used
 Always seek written permission from a copyright
owner if you plan on using their work.
 Make a practice of using of royalty free music or
videos.
 It’s best to create your own music or video
 It’s safe to use recordings from Public Domain (most
reliably recordings before 1921)

17. Can I read a copy of copyrighted work on Video?
 Example
 Reading passages from a book, article, or other
copyrighted publication (not public domain)
 You can if it’s for face-to-face, educational use. A
recording is usually allowed by Fair Use
 If the video will be distributed (YouTube), always
seek written permission from copyright owners.

18. Can’t teachers always claim Fair
Use?
 It’s true that teachers may use certain materials under Fair Use guidelines
without written permission.
 Fair Use can depend on the following areas:
 The purpose and character of the use, including whether such
use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational
purposes
 The nature of the copyrighted work
 The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation
to the copyrighted work as a whole
 The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value
of, the copyrighted work

19. Safe Fair Use Rule of Thumbs for
Teachers
 Only teachers in a CLASSROOM ( or password
protected online classroom) can claim fair use of
copyrighted materials.
 Fair use is a ONE TIME exemption from asking for
permission to use.
 Copyrighted materials must be part of an instructional
lesson.

20. Fair Use
 All ideas and creations are copyrighted at time of creation.
 Fair use usually addresses a spontaneous, one-time use of
copyrighted materials. Repeated uses need further
permission from the owner of copyright.
 Student work is copyrighted. You may need a student’s
permission to post or use their content. (Some teachers
send home “Intent to Post” letters at beginning of school.)

21. Fair Use
 Posting items on a teacher webpage constitutes
“distribution” unless the page is password protected.
 Once you lose “control” of your audience/classroom,
fair use ends.
 Making DVD copies for an entire grade
level/department/school/school system (without
permission of copyright holder) violates Fair Use
distribution guidelines.

22. What’s the difference between
these two symbols?

23. Creative Commons
 Creative Commons allows content creators to
distribute their work for free with certain
limitations. For example, you are free to create
new work based on the content, but not for profit.
 Popular websites that allow the download of free
content are
