Fair Use and Professional Responsibility: Beyond the legal aspects of the copyright law lies an important issue -- Ethics. Educators, without regard to or knowledge of copyright restrictions, sometimes duplicate materials illegally or load software without license. Such copying, seemingly convenient and unnoticeable, is, in fact, stealing--taking someone's property without permission, thus depriving the author of income or control to which he/she is entitled.

A copyright is a property right attached to an original work of art or literature.
-
Copyright laws do not extend to facts and ideas. While the protection does cover the particular, distinctive words a writer uses to present ideas or facts, control over the underlying concepts or truths cannot be owned. Thus, a biography about a U.S. President qualifies for copyright, but the events and facts of his life do not.

Fair use explicitly allows use of copyrighted materials for educational purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Rather than listing exact limits of fair use, copyright law provides four standards for determination of the fair use exemption:

Highlight
-
A copyright is a property right attached to an original work of art or literature. It grants the author or creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, adapt, perform, or display the protected work. Other than someone to whom the author/creator has extended all or part of these rights, no one else may use, copy, or alter the work. Wrongful use of the material gives the copyright owner the right to seek and recover compensation in a court of law. A copyright gives the author or owner the right of control over all forms of reproduction, including photocopies, slides, recordings on cassettes and videotapes, compact disks, and other digital formats.
-
For works created and published before 1978, copyright lasts 75 years from the time of publication or copyright renewal.
-
To qualify for copyright protection, the work must be (a) original, (b) creative to a minimal degree, and (c) in a fixed or tangible form of expression.
-
- literary works - both fiction and nonfiction, including books, periodicals, manuscripts, computer programs, manuals, phonorecords, film, audiotapes, and computer disks
- musical works -- and accompanying words -- songs, operas, and musical plays
- dramatic works -- including music - plays and dramatic readings
- pantomimed and choreographed works
- pictorial, graphics, and sculptural works -- final and applied arts, photographs, prints and art reproductions, maps, globes, charts, technical drawings, diagrams, and models
- motion pictures and audiovisual works - slide/tape, multimedia presentations, filmstrips, films, and videos
- sound recordings and records - tapes, cassettes, and computer disks (Talab, 1986, p. 6).
-
- 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.

-
- 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. This is the most important of the four tests for fair use (Princeton University).

Teachers have a moral obligation to practice integrity and trustworthiness. Just as they expect students to refrain from cheating on tests and from taking others' belongings at school, teachers should honor the law when it comes to fair use and copyright. Thus, teachers not only should protect themselves from legal liability but should also model honesty and truthfulness by knowing when and what may be copied for educational use.

Crissie FowlerI liked this cite because of the links provided on the left side of the page. Â I also have highlighted the two links under the apple for you to look at. Â The chart for fair use in the classroom is a great tool to have on hand at school either in the classroom or in the library. Â Students need to know when and how it is important to use proper copyright law. Â It is up to the teacher to teach them just that. Â Also, the list of copyright protected works could be handy in a language arts, writing classroom.Â

Copyright and Fair Use Defined A copyright is a property right attached to an original work of art or literature. It grants the author or creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, adapt, perform, or display the protected work. Other than someone to whom the author/creator has extended all or part of these rights, no one else may use, copy, or alter the work. Wrongful use of the material gives the copyright owner the right to seek and recover compensation in a court of law. A copyright gives the author or owner the right of control over all forms of reproduction, including photocopies, slides, recordings on cassettes and videotapes, compact disks, and other digital formats.
Individuals once had to apply for copyright protection. However, works created since 1978 assume protection from the moment the work takes tangible form--whether or not a copyright notice is attached and whether or not the individual has filed an application with the U.S. Copyright Office. For works created and published before 1978, copyright lasts 75 years from the time of publication or copyright renewal.
Copyright laws do not extend to facts and ideas. While the protection does cover the particular, distinctive words a writer uses to present ideas or facts, control over the underlying concepts or truths cannot be owned. Thus, a biography about a U.S. President qualifies for copyright, but the events and facts of his life do not.
To qualify for copyright protection, the work must be (a) original, (b) creative to a minimal degree, and (c) in a fixed or tangible form of expression.
Copyright law covers seven broad categories:
A copyrighted work may be used or copied under certain conditions:
Through the fair use provision, teachers have access to works far beyond classrooms or textbooks and thereby may expand and enrich learning opportunities for student learning.
