Copyright

Simply Put...

• The Copyright Act gives copyright holders the exclusive rights to reproduce works for a specified time period.
• Fair Use allows people other than the owner of copyright to copy part or all of an artifact even without permission.

Scope of Discussion

• Fair Use
• Attribution
• Compliance

Keep in Mind...

• This is a HOT TOPIC!
• Legislation is trying to catch up with technology
• This topic can be controversial as there are philosophical differences people share on fair use, copyright protection, digital sharing, open source, intellectual property, etc...

Keep in Mind...

• Although Intellectual Property is a HOT Topic under this realm as well... this discussion will focus on obtaining, copying, and reproducing the works of others for yourcourse use.

Fair Use Factors

• Purpose/Use
• Nature of work
• Amount/portion of work being copied
• Effect of use upon potential market or value of work

Attribution

• Basically... "sourcing"
• Effect of use upon potential market or value of work
• Giving credit (if required) to the owner of copyright
• Attribution is not guaranteed copyright compliance

• Up to 10% or 1000 words of a written work, whichever is less

Music
