Copyright and fair use

Responsibility

Copyright and fair use

Responsibility

A copyrighted work may be used or copied under certain conditions:

public domain -- work belonging to the public as a whole--government documents and works, works with an expired copyright or no existing protection, and works published over 75 years ago;

permission -- prior approval for the proposed use by the copyright owner;

legal exception -- use constitutes an exemption to copyright protection--parody, for example; or

fair use -- use for educational purposes according to certain restrictions.

Copyright and fair use

Responsibility

Purpose of use: Copying and using selected parts of copyrighted works for specific educational purposes qualifies as fair use, especially if the copies are made spontaneously, are used temporarily, and are not part of an anthology.

Nature of the work: For copying paragraphs from a copyrighted source, fair use easily applies. For copying a chapter, fair use may be questionable.

Proportion/extent of the material used: Duplicating excerpts that are short in relation to the entire copyrighted work or segments that do not reflect the "essence" of the work is usually considered fair use.

The effect on marketability: If there will be no reduction in sales because of copying or distribution, the fair use exemption is likely to apply.
