1 COPYRIGHT IS A FORM OF PROTECTION GROUNDED IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND GRANTED BY LAW FOR ORIGINAL WORKS OF AUTHORSHIP FIXED IN A TANGIBLE MEDIUM OF EXPRESSION. COPYRIGHT COVERS BOTH PUBLISHED AND UNPUBLISHED WORKS. Copyright What Is It?

2 What Are The Owner’s Rights? Owners of copyrighted materials have the exclusive right, by law to: * Copy or reproduce work * Create derivative works * Distribute copies for sale * Perform publicly * Display publicly

3 What Can Be Copyrighted? Literary works Musical works, including any accompanying words Dramatic works, including accompanying music Choreographic and pantomime works Graphic, pictorial, & sculptural works Motion pictures & other audiovisual works Architectural works Sound recordings

4 Is Copyright Automatic? Copyright is effective when a work is fixed in a tangible form. No need to include copyright symbol. The copyright is automatic as soon as the work is created and fixed. However, you can put a © on everything you create if you so choose.

5 What Are the 4 Factors of Fair Use? 1. Purpose and character of your use 2. Nature of the copyrighted work 3. Amount and substantiality of the portion taken 4.Effect of the use upon the potential market. Acronym = PANE

6 1. Purpose & Character of Use Various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair: Criticism & Comment including Parodies News reporting (source credited) Teaching / Educational Purposes Scholarship Research Non-profit - Not saved for more than 2 years

7 2. Nature of the Copyrighted Work Is the work Factual in Nature?  Scientific, Technical, Scholarly, etc.  Did the work earn the copyright holder an award or distinction?  Monetary implications Is the work Creative in Nature?  Plays, photographs, poems, paintings, fictional works, etc. Fine line between unprotected “facts and ideas” & protected “expression”

8 3. Amount Taken 10% or 1,000 words of a book 1 Poem or 250 words (from 1 published work, not 1 author) No more than 1 article or 2,500 words 1 Image from a specific source (In print or online) 30 Seconds of a song (including background music)

9 4. Effect Upon the Potential Market Not harmful to the author  -Will the author/publisher/anyone else lose money if you use the material?  What is the effect of the use on marketability and value of the original copyrighted work? Work can not be available for purchase  10 day guideline for TV Need to purchase the work  Are you promoting the work or just giving it away?  Book covers = gray area

10 What Are the Copyright Terms? Anything published before 1923 is in the Public Domain (Works that no longer have Copyright protection). Created between 1923-1963 copyrights can be renewed for a total of 67 years. If works are not renewed, go into Public Domain. Created between 1964-1977 copyright automatically renewed for 95 years from creation date. Created after January 1, 1978 the copyright is automatically renewed for 120 years after creation date or 95 years after publication date.

11 Staying Copyright Compliant Get permission from source Use Public Domain materials  No longer have copyright protection Purchase Licensing  Annual fee to cover the use of copyrighted materials for non-educational activities. Fair Use – 4 Factors  Interpretive, many gray areas  Just because you are not profiting from a work does not mean the use of it is copyright compliant!
