    Copyright and Fair Use

    in the Classroom
    Charley Gregg
    Spring 2016

    Regarding Copyright
    The Congress shall have Power To promote the
    Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for
    limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive
    Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries
    - United States Constitution, Article 1,
    Section 8
    Copyright protects the rights of authors of original works
    such as writings, books, music compositions, plays, films,
    photographs and art. It is a law that gives authors of
    original work the rights to sell, copy, distribute or publicly
    display original works.

    Infringing on Copyright is against the law!


    Something as simple showing a documentary you
    copied to your class could be in violation of the
    law.

    Regarding Fair Use


    Under the right circumstances, copyrighted material
    may be used without permission from the copyright
    holder, this is known as Fair Use. Fair Use allows
    teachers to use some copyrighted material in the
    classroom. Be careful, though. The fair use doctrine is
    not a license to steal (Starr, 2010/2015)!
    There are four main guidelines used to decide if use of
    copyrighted material falls under Fair Use, they come
    from the United States Copyright Office website
    Coyright.gov

    First Fair Use Guideline 1


    Purpose and character of the use, including
    whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for
    nonprofit educational purposes.
    - While non-profit educational purposes is specifically said
    in this guideline, the US Copyright Office also says that
    This does not mean, however, that all nonprofit
    education and noncommercial uses are fair.
    - Also transforming the original that adds something new
    to a work may also lead more favorably to fair use
    consideration.

    Fair Use Guideline 2


    Nature of the copyrighted work .
    Factual works (e.g. a news article) are more likely to fall
    under Fair Use than something of a more creative work
    (e.g. a novel).
    Published works are more likely than unpublished works
    to be considered fair.

    Fair Use Guideline 3


    Amount and substantiality of the portion used in
    relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
    The more of the original work that you use, the less
    likely it is to considered Fair Use. Be judicious in how
    much of a work that use.
    The importance of the section of the work used also
    comes into consideration, the less significance of the
    part of the work used, the more likely it will be
    considered fair use.

    Fair Use Guideline 4


    Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value
    of the copyrighted work.
    If the copies will hurt the market for the original work,
    this will weaken the Fair Use claim.

    General Rules about what can be


    used in the classroom.
    A 250 word poem or 250 or less words of a longer
    poem.
    A chapter from a book.
    A single chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or
    picture from a book, periodical, or newspaper.
    Written work 2,500 words or less. For works longer than
    that, 1,000 words or 10%, whichever is less.
    Legitimately acquired videotapes and DVDs
    This list is not exhaustive, following these rules is
    no guarantee for Fair Use claims!

    Last Thoughts on the Subject


    This presentation is absolutely, positively in no way
    legal advice or should be used as a final say to
    whether something falls within Fair Use guidelines. In
    regards to Copyright and Fair Use it is often tough to
    understand all the details. Every source I found in
    regards to the subject said something along the lines of
    When in any kind of doubt, get permission! I concur.
