Fair use guidelines for varying types of digital media

Images?

Videos?

Music?

Scenario A

A student snaps a CD-ROM in half and the teacher really needed it for her next class. The teacher decides to make a back-up copy of all her crucial CD-ROMs so this never happens again in the future. This is permissible.

yes no

Answer A

Thumbs up! Yes!Technically, this should be done in the

library. The law allows archival copies, and, in some cases, lost, stolen, or damaged originals to be replaced with copies if the originals are unavailable or unreasonably priced.

Will I really go to jail?

Do you know of anyone who

has been prosecuted or

reprimanded for copyright violation?

Scenario B

A middle school science class studying ocean ecosystems must gather material for multimedia projects. The teacher downloads pictures and information on marine life from various commercial and noncommercial sites to store in a folder for students to access. This is fair use.

yes no

Answer B

Thumbs up! Yes!

The Web may be mined for resources. Download away. (Of course, don’t hack into subscription sites!) But remember: You can’t put these projects back up on the Web without permission from the copyright holders.

NEED TO KNOW!

Citing copyrighted works from the internet

So how do I know what I can legally use?

Did you know that acknowledgingthe source does not substitutefor obtaining permission?

Fair use, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research can be determined by these four factors:

U.S. Copyright Office

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

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

Safe free sites!

Need images?

Here are some great websites with free access to their images for educator use.

Why should we really care about fair use of digital material?

Fair use guidelines for all

Scenario C A teacher buys a single-user program with

department money and puts it on the Local Area Network (LAN). It is frequently used by several teachers at the same time. This is done in violation of a written district policy against using single-user programs on the LAN. After two years, the software company takes action against the district. Is the district liable?

yes no

Answer C

Thumbs up! Yes! The district is liable. The district

must enforce it’s written policy, not just post it. Somebody needs to be monitoring the network and the stand alone computers, too. An unenforced policy cost one large district over a six figure settlement, despite posted policy.

Laws! Laws! Laws!

How do educators remember copyright laws when using

digital material in their teaching?

Please share something you learned….

Trivia Question Now show what YOU know!

While teachers may show videos or DVDs they have purchased without restrictions of length, percentage, or

multiple use, there is a something very important to know. The video or DVD

may not be used for _______________________.

Answer

Entertainment or Reward ….

It must be used for instructional purposes only!

You won!

Get out of Jail Card

Here’s your ticket out.

Bear in mind reposting collected digital media to a website is not allowed.

You will not pass go. You will not collect $200.

So test yourself – see if you get the next question right:

Scenario D

A student finds a photo online dramatizing a pre-Columbian Viking ship landing in America. Since the school symbol is the Viking, he posts this photo on the school web page. It links back to the original website. This is fair use.

yes no

Answer D

Thumbs down. No. Internet pages are copyrighted automatically.

The student cannot safely post (and therefore re-copyright) anything without permission. Use in a classroom report or multimedia project would have been okay, as it would not have been on a posted web page.

Want a clean record?

Your freedom of fair use is almost unlimited!

The key is not reposting collected digital media to a website.

Great post-OLA resource
