6. Copyright Basics
Length of Copyright Term
Copyright laws have changed over the years and so not all works follow
these exact rules. Under current laws, the copyright for works created
now begins when the work is created and lasts throughout the author’s
life, plus seventy years. Works created earlier follow a variety of
different rules.
American Library Association Michael Brewer created a digital copyright
slider http://librarycopyright.net/resources/digitalslider/
The Cornell Copyright Information Center has also produced a copyright
status chart “Copyright Term and Public Domain” that goes into more
detail.

7. Introduction to Fair Use
Allows the limited use of copyrighted material without permission of the
copyright holder. Fair Use often covers the use of copyrighted material for
educational purposes.
The Four Factors of Fair Use to consider:
1. Purpose and character of the use
2. Nature of the copyrighted work
3. Amount and substantiality of the portion of the work used in relation to the work as
a whole
4. Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
(Title 17 Section 107, U. S. Code)

9. Technology, Education, and Copyright
Harmonization (TEACH) Act of 2002
Updated copyright law to accommodate use of digital materials in distance ed.
Summary of the TEACH Act
• The purpose of the act is to address the use of course materials for online and distance courses.
• The act does not attempt to address the uses of supplementary material used solely by
students.
• Materials used in online and distance education classes must be integrated into the instruction
and used interactively by the instructor.
• In general, as with primary copyright law, only portions of a work may be used.
• The integration and use of materials in the class should not be done in such a way as to
circumvent the purchase of materials by students.
• Fair Use guidelines still apply.
