What you need to know!Slide2

Copyright Infringement

What is it?

Anyone who violates any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner as provided by sections 106 through 122 or of the author as provided in section 106A(a), or who imports copies or phonorecords into the United States in violation of section 602, is an infringer of the copyright or right of the author, as the case may be.In order for the infringement to occurThe copyright holder must have a valid copyright.The person who is allegedly infringing must have access to the copyrighted work.

The duplication of the copyrighted work must be outside the exceptions.Slide3

What is Copyright?

The exclusive legal right, given to an originator to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same.Slide4

Penalties for Copyright Infringement

The legal penalties for copyright infringement are:

Infringer pays the actual dollar amount of damages and profits.The law provides a range from $200 to $150,000 for each work infringed.Infringer pays for all attorneys fees and court costs.The Court can issue an injunction to stop the infringing acts.The Court can impound the illegal works.The infringer can go to JAIL!Slide5

Knowing about “Fair Use”

In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner.

In other words, fair use is a defense against a claim of copyright infringement. If your use qualifies as a fair use, then it would not be considered an illegal infringement Slide6

Conditions for Deciding “Fair Use”

The first factor addresses the character and purpose of the use of the work.

The second factor looks at the creativity of the work. Creative works have more protection than factual ones, so the more creative a work is the less likely the use will be considered fair under this factor.The third factor looks at the amount of the work that is being used. A small amount generally weighs in favor of fair use where a large amount would weigh more in favor of requesting permission.The fourth factor takes into account how the intended use would impact the market for the work. Generally, the more restricted the use, the less impact on the market.Slide7

Tips to Avoid Copyright Infringement

An educational multimedia presentation may include:

Up to 10% or 1,000 words, whichever is less, of a copyrighted text work. For example, you may use an entire poem of less than 250 words but no more than three poems by one poet or five poems by different poets from the same anthology.Up to 10%, but not more than 30 seconds, of the music and lyrics from an individual musical work.Up to 10% or three minutes, whichever is less, of a copyrighted motion media work—for example, an animation, video, or film image.Slide8

Guidelines for Teachers and Students

Educators and students must credit sources, giving full bibliographic information when available.

Educators and students must display the copyright notice and copyright ownership information if this is shown in the original source.Copyright information for images may be shown in a separate bibliographic section unless the presentation is being used for distance learning.Slide9
