COPYRIGHT VS. “COPYWRONG”: TEACHING COPYRIGHT ETHICALLY
We live in a world of digital content. Everyone has access to a myriad of online resources: images, sounds, music, videos, and text. Whether we are operating as content creators or content consumers, copyright considerations touch us all daily. Copyright is not merely the sum of its legal parts, but also has ethical implications, particularly when combined with technology. Teaching copyright, therefore, should focus not only on the legal and economic aspects, but also the ethical aspects, including moral rights of attribution, integrity, and privacy. Workshop participants will leave with a practical strategy for teaching copyright in all its aspects.
US COPYRIGHT LAW
Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution:
“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.”
FAIR USE AS ETHICS
• What is Fair Use?
• Teaching Fair Use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include— (1)the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is
of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copy- righted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copy- righted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
FOUR FACTORS OF FAIR USE
• the purpose and character of your use
• the nature of the copyrighted work
• the amount and substantiality of the portion taken
• the effect of the use upon the potential market
