What is Copyright? “The exclusive right to produce or reproduce (copy), to perform in public, or to publish an original literary or artistic work. ” Duhaime's Law Dictionary Almost everything created privately and originally after March 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not.

How Long Does Copyright Last? Anything created after January 1, 1978 is ordinarily given a term enduring for the author's life plus an additional 70 years after the author's death. For works made for hire (e. g. , copyright held by companies), the duration of copyright will be 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.

Published Conditions Public Domain Status Before 1923 None In public domain Between 1923 Published without a and 1978 copyright notice In public domain Between 1978 Published without and copyright notice, and no March 1, 1989 subsequent registration In public domain Between 1923 Published with copyright and 1963 notice, but not renewed In public domain (85% of copyrights were not renewed) Between 1923 Published with copyright and 1963 notice and was renewed 95 years after publication date Between 1964 Published with copyright and 1978 notice 95 years after publication date After None March 1, 1989 70 years after death of author; or if work of corporate authorship, either 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter

What is not copyrighted? Works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of expression (have not been written or recorded) Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a description, explanation, or illustration Works consisting entirely of information that is common property and containing no original authorship (for example: standard calendars, height and weight charts, tape measures and rulers, etc. )

What is not copyrighted? Logical, comprehensive compilations (such as the telephone book) Materials or reprints of materials in the public domain (all prior to 1923; most between 19231963; additional information at http: //www. unc. edu/~unclng/public-d. htm) Most U. S. government materials (some items created by contractors for the government might be copyrighted) Facts

But…But. . . Besides the previous list, just because something is on the Web or posted to Usenet does not mean it is not copyright protected. Even if something is sent to you via email, it does not mean it is free for you to use. You should assume a work is copyrighted and may not be copied, unless you know otherwise.

However: Educators get a break with a “fair use” clause

What is “fair use”? Sec. 107 of the Fair Use Provision of the Copyright Act states: “Limitations on exclusive right: Fair use. Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106 A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. ”

There are four factors that will help determine whether using a copyright work without permission is “fair use. ”

“In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include - the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes. . . ”

“In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include - �the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; �the nature of the copyrighted work;

Consideration of Quantity & Quality: Using only what is “necessary” “In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include - the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a 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; and

� Does the copying harm the market for the original work? � Is the original work losing potential money? “In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include - �the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a 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; and �the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. ”

So it would seem that it’s “fair use” if… � The copying is for educational use; � The original material is mainly facts and lacks originality; � You use portions to make your point, not whole sections; and � You’re not taking potential sales away from the original �You’re not providing copies just so your students don’t have to pay for the books (or original source materials).

Seems simple…right? Not exactly… Between 1992 -1994, a group of publishers and educators gathered to agree to more specific guidelines so educators won’t be sued for copyright infringement when they were thinking their copying was “fair use. ”

The result was: Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia

Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia The Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia is not a legal document, but only an interpretation of the Copyright Act of 1976 by CONFU, a group of educational users and copyright owners (who obviously have a stake in this interpretation).

Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia � Although the guidelines have no legal binding, on Sept. 27, 1996, Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property, Committee on the Judiciary, U. S. House of Representatives issued a non-legislative report acknowledging the guidelines. � The Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia only applies to educators who produce multimedia.

To make things more complicated… In late April, 1997, Bruce Lehman, Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, publicly stated that the Proposed Guidelines negotiated by CONFU participants had failed to achieve consensus support. However, proponents say the multimedia guidelines are finished and ready to use.

So what does this all mean? There is no real line between fair use and unfair use. The nature of the disagreement over the Guidelines means that the Guidelines technically cannot be considered “litigation free” if you follow them.

And if you use the Guidelines. . . You may be undercutting your rights to a more expansive scope of fair use that may be perfectly legal. On the other hand, these conservative Guidelines are not 100% guaranteed to be within the scope of “fair use. ” …However, they may still be a good place to start. …Really

So What are these Guidelines?

Students & Educators have Separate Guidelines � Students may: �incorporate portions of lawfully acquired copyrighted works when producing their own educational multimedia projects for a specific course; �perform and display their own projects in the course for which they were created; and �retain them in their own portfolios as examples of their academic work for later personal uses such as job and school interviews.

Educator Guidelines Educators may: Incorporate portions of lawfully acquired copyrighted works when producing educational multimedia projects to support their teaching needs; and Present their projects in the following situations: Ø Ø Ø Face-to-face instruction, Assigned to students for directed self-study, Remote instruction (with limitations).

Educator Guidelines Educators may retain their projects indefinitely for the following purposes: To perform or display in presentations to their peers, for example, at workshops and conferences To retain in their personal portfolios for personal uses such as promotion or job interviews

Educator Guidelines Educators may use their projects for teaching, for a period of up to two years after the first instructional use with a class. Instructional use beyond that time period requires permission for each copyrighted portion incorporated in the production.

Limitations on Size/Portions for both Educators and Students* Motion Media Up to 10% or 3 minutes, whichever is less, of a single copyrighted motion media work. • Text Material – Up to 10% or 1000 words, whichever is less, of a single copyrighted work of text. *Although all students are to be given instruction on appropriate use, it is understood that students in kindergarten through grade six may not be able to adhere to these limitations.

Copying and Distribution Limitations Including the original, only a limited number of copies may be made of a project: Two use copies, one of which may be placed on reserve. An additional copy for preservation to be used or copied only to replace a use copy that has been lost, stolen, or damaged. For jointly created projects, each principal creator may retain one copy but only as permitted by use and time restraints previously outlined.

Attribution & Acknowledgement Credit the sources and display the copyright notice © and copyright ownership information for all incorporated works including those prepared under fair use.

Notice of Use Restrictions The opening screen of a program and any accompanying print material must include a notice that: Certain materials are included under the fair use exemption of the U. S. Copyright Law; Materials are included in accordance with the multimedia fair use guidelines; and Materials are restricted from further use.

Future Uses Beyond Fair Use If there is a possibility that a project could result in broader dissemination [for instance, publication on the Internet], whether or not as a commercial product, individuals should take steps to obtain permissions during the development process rather than waiting until after completion of the project.

Rules Of Thumb For Coursepacks Guidelines condensed from the University of Texas Limit coursepack materials to single chapters single articles from a journal issue several charts, graphs or illustrations other similarly small parts of a work. Include any copyright notice on the original appropriate citations and attributions to the source. Obtain permission for materials that will be used repeatedly by the same instructor for the same class.

Rules Of Thumb For Coursepacks Guidelines from the University of Texas Multiple copies must conform to previous “fair use” rules (not to exceed, in any event, more than one copy per student in a course) Plus the following restrictions: One chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon or picture per book or periodical issue There shall not be more than nine instances of such multiple copying for one course during one class term.

Rules Of Thumb For Coursepacks Guidelines from the University of Texas Restrictions (continued): There shall be no copying of or from works intended to be "consumable" in the course of study or of teaching. These include workbooks, exercises, standardized tests and test booklets and answer sheets and like consumable material. Copying may not be used to create or to replace or substitute for anthologies, compilations or collective works.

Remember. . . These are guidelines, not laws. • If you feel that any of these guidelines are too restrictive and you want to follow your own “instincts” about what is “fair use, ” you are free to do so (within your university’s guidelines, of course). • However, realize that the further you venture from these guidelines, the more likely you are to be outside of “fair use. ”

What About Software? Use of software does not fall under fair use! Public or private educational institutions are not exempt from the software copyright laws. When you purchase software, you are only purchasing a license to use the software – you don’t own it.

But I can make copies for my own use…right? Anyone who purchases a license for a single copy of software has the right to load it onto a single computer and to make another copy "for archival purposes only. " Any other use than “archival” must be approved by the copyright owner.

Unless you have specific permission from the copyright owner… It is illegal to: � Purchase a single user license and load it onto multiple computers or a server, � Download copyrighted software from the Internet or bulletin boards, or � Load the software your school purchased onto your computer at home.

What About Shareware? Shareware is software that is passed out freely for evaluation purposes only. You are allowed to try it out before you pay for it. Evaluation time is usually 30 days. If you wish to keep the software program, then you must pay to keep your evaluation copy. Shareware is often fairly inexpensive.

Freeware is Free…Right? Freeware is also covered by copyright laws and subject to the conditions defined by the holder of the copyright. You can distribute freeware, but not make any money on it. You can modify and build other software programs based on the freeware, but those “new” programs cannot be sold for profit.

Only Public Domain Software is Truly “Free” Copyrights have been relinquished. There are no distribution restrictions. You can modify the original software and build new software. You can sell your modified software.

Why Should Teachers Follow Software Copyright Laws? You should set a good example for your students. Future software can only be developed for a reasonable price if the software firm/developer receives payment for its efforts. And then there is the matter of penalties. . .

Penalties For the unauthorized use and copying of software, penalties include: Fines up to the actual amount of damages to the copyright holder, or Statutory damages up to $100, 000 per infringed work where the court finds there was willful infringement. And if guilty under the criminal sections of the law: ○ Up to one year imprisonment and/or ○ Fines up to $25, 000

Penalties � For the unauthorized reproduction or distribution of 10 or more copies of software with a total retail value of $2500, penalties include: �Imprisonment for up to six years, and/or �Fines up to $250, 000 � Under the NET Act, signed into law on December 16, 1997, a person who willfully infringes on copyrighted material worth at least $1, 000 could be subject to criminal prosecution, even if he/she does not profit from the activity.

Another Reason to Follow Software Copyright Law. . . You don’t need to use illegally-obtained software because… � Many software firms offer special sales arrangements to schools and to teachers for their home use, including: � Educational discounts for one copy and/or additional copies of their software programs, � Reduced-priced lab packs (a quantity of programs sold together), and/or � Site license agreements (an arrangement that allows a school to make a specified number of copies for one location at a fixed price).

There’s no ambiguity in this one: Do not make illegal copies of Software!
