1. FAIR USE LAWS Factors determining fair use include: *purpose and character of the use * the nature of the copyrighted work. * how much of the work you use * the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
2. COPY RIGHT LAWS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES *Most information on the Internet is not in the public domain. * Most software, including freeware, is not in the public domain. * A good way to determine whether a multimedia resource is copyright protected or in the public domain is to relate it as closely as possible to a print resource. * Sometimes, asking permission is simply polite, even if you're not legally required to do so!
3. COPYRIGHTS AND COPY WRONGS *All tangible creative works are protected by copyright immediately upon creation. *Quoting or crediting the author of a copied work does not satisfy copyright requirements. *When in doubt ask permission.
4. FAIR USE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES This allows educators to use copyrighted works for *face-to-face student instruction * directed student self-study * real-time remote instruction, review, or directed self-study * presentation at peer workshops and conferences * such personal uses.
5. DISTRICT LIABILITY AND TEACHING LIABILITY *districts are liable for any copyright violations committed by their staff *Teachers have an additional responsibility to make sure that students understand the spirit and the letter of copyright law.
