Copyright Jeopardy Computers and Software TV & Video Internet Multi- media Wild Card

Computers & Software-200 A student snaps in half a CD-ROM the teacher really needed for her next class. The teacher decides to make a back-up copy of all her crucial disks so it never happens again. Is this permissible? HOME Answer

Computers & Software-200 YES. Technically, this should be done in the library. The law allows archival copies, and, in some cases, lost, stolen, or damaged originals may be replaced with copies if the originals are unavailable or unreasonably priced. HOME

Computers & Software-400 A teacher buys a single-user software program with department money and puts it on the local-area network (LAN). It is frequently used by several teachers at the same time. This is done in violation of a written district policy against using single-user programs on the LAN. After two years, the software company takes action against the individual teacher. The district is also liable. HOME Answer

Computers & Software-400 YES. The district must enforce its written policy, not just post it. Somebody needs to be monitoring the network (and, it must be said, the stand-alone computers, too). Unenforced policy cost one large district over $1 million. HOME

Computers & Software-600 A school has a site license for version 3.3 of a multimedia program. A teacher buys five copies of version 4.0, which is more powerful, and installs them on five workstations in the computer lab. But now when students at these workstations create a project and bring it back to their classrooms, the computers (running 3.3) won't read the work! To end the chaos, it's permissible to install 4.0 on all machines. HOME Answer

Computers & Software-600 False. Alas, the teacher bought a product that isn't backwards-compatible and should complain to the manufacturer. It's likely the law would deem it reasonable to install 3.3 in the new machines (after removing 4) until the issue is resolved. HOME

Computers & Software-800 A geography teacher has more students and computers than software. He uses a CD burner to make several copies of a copyright interactive CD-ROM so each student can use an individual copy in class. Is this fair use? HOME Answer

Computers & Software-800 NO. Just as with a print encyclopedia, one student at a time has access to a piece of software. The number of students who can use a software program simultaneously is restricted to the number of copies the school owns HOME

Computers & Software-1000 A technology coordinator installs the one copy of Photoshop the school owns on a central server so students are able to access it from their classroom workstations. This is a violation of copyright law. HOME Answer

Computers & Software-1000 False. As long as one copy is not being used simultaneously, it's OK to distribute the software via the server. However, when districts or schools fail to monitor and enforce simultaneous use, they get in trouble. (On a network it's easy to track if a program is being used in more than one location.) HOME

TV & Video-200 HOME A history class videotapes a Holocaust survivor who lives in the community. The students digitally compress the interview, and, with the interviewee's permission, post it on the Web. Another school discovers the interview online and uses it in their History Day project. Is this fair use? Answer

TV & Video-200 HOME YES. That's the other side of fair use. Just as you can use other people's intellectual property for educational purposes without permission, so can your own be used.

TV & Video-400 HOME The owner of the local Blockbuster Video store supports the school by donating one videotape rental-free to the school every Friday. The video is shown in the multipurpose room to reward students with perfect attendance that week. Is this fair use? Answer

TV & Video-400 HOME NO. "Entertainment" and "reward" are explicitly excluded under copyright guidelines. To show a movie for entertainment purposes, you must obtain a version from an authorized distributor who can license you to show it.

TV & Video-600 A teacher rents Gone With the Wind to show the burning of Atlanta scene to her class while studying the Civil War. Is this fair use? HOME Answer

TV & Video-600 YES. The video is a legal copy being used for instructional purposes. HOME

TV & Video-800 A history teacher taped the original ABC news report showing Richard Nixon leaving the White House after he resigned. She made it at home on her personal VCR and used her own tape. She uses the entire news program every year in her classroom. Is this fair use? HOME Answer

TV & Video-800 NO. Congress holds that videotapes of publicly broadcast shows can only be shown for 10 days afterwards unless the copyright holder grants greater allowances for educators. The time has long passed when she should have asked permission or purchased the tape. HOME

TV & Video-1000 “Seinfeld” has an episode on personal hygiene that a health teacher tapes and uses the following week in class. The local television station denies permission when asked and states this is a violation of copyright law. Is the TV station correct? HOME Answer

TV & Video-1000 HOME NO. The television station is wrong. First of all, it doesn't hold the copyright on "Seinfeld." Secondly, the use occurred within 10 school days after the broadcast.

Internet-200 HOME Answer A number of students take digital pictures of local streets and businesses for their Web projects. These are permissible to post online.

Internet-200 HOME True. You may use the images in projects and post such images on the Web. Some sites, like Disneyland and architectural landmarks, may be considered copyright material, however, and might ask you to remove the image. People (not selectively chosen) in public places are as a rule OK in photographs.

Internet-400 A middle school science class studying ocean ecosystems must gather material for multimedia projects. The teacher downloads pictures and information on marine life from various commercial and noncommercial sites to store in a folder for students to access. This is fair use. HOME Answer

Internet-400 True. The Web may be mined for resources. Download away (of course, don't hack into subscription sites)! But remember: you can't put these projects back up on the Web without permission from the copyright holders. HOME

Internet-600 An elementary school designs a password- protected Web site for families and faculty only. It's OK for teachers to post student work there, even when it uses copyright material without permission. HOME Answer

Internet-600 True. If the site really is protected, then this is considered OK. The school should monitor its Web hits, though, and make sure the outside world isn't sneaking in. HOME

Internet-800 A student film buff downloads a new release from a Taiwanese Web site to use for a humanities project. As long as the student gives credit to the sites from which he's downloaded material, this is covered under fair use. HOME Answer

Internet-800 False. Educators may use "legitimately acquired" material without asking permission, but many file- sharing sites are suspect in this area. Use common sense to determine if those peer-to-peer resources are legitimate or pirated. (You can also check copyright ownership at or HOME

Internet-1000 A teacher gets clip art and music from popular file-sharing sites, then creates a lesson plan and posts it on the school Web site to share with other teachers. This is permissible. HOME Answer

Internet-1000 False. Legitimately acquired material can be used in classrooms. However, under the current law, no teacher can redistribute such material over the Net or any other medium. You can use it, but you can't spread it around. HOME

Multimedia-200 Copyrighted material used in multimedia projects may remain in the student's portfolio forever. HOME Answer

Multimedia-200 TRUE. As long as the material is not publicly distributed, the student may archive his/her work. HOME

Multimedia-400 A student brings in an audio cassette copy of the national anthem that he copied from an audio CD lent to him by a friend. Another student digitizes this into a HyperStudio stack. This is fair use. HOME Answer

Multimedia-400 False. For fair use, the copy must be legally obtained. The student was using an unauthorized copy. Francis Scott Key may be dead, but the orchestra that created the arrangement and created the tape is probably alive and kicking. HOME

Multimedia-600 A student doing a multimedia report discovers how to copy the QuickTime movie of Kennedy's "We shall go to the moon" speech from a CD-ROM encyclopedia. He presents the report to his classmates, then posts it on the school LAN. This is fair use. HOME Answer

Multimedia-600 True. The length of the clip and its use for educational purposes support the fact that this is fair use. Since the school LAN is presumably not accessible to the outside world, posting the report should not cause a problem. HOME

Multimedia-800 A student building a multimedia art project uses copyrighted images of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings downloaded from the Web. He submits this project to a multimedia competition honoring classroom work and wins a prize for the school. This is covered under fair use. HOME Answer

Multimedia-800 True. The competition was expressly designed for classroom work by students. If the resulting projects were distributed on CD-ROM or posted at a Web site, however, the copyrighted works could cause a problem. HOME

Multimedia-1000 A student wants to play a clip of ethnic music to represent her family's country of origin. Her teacher has a CD that meets her needs. It is fair use for the student to copy and use the music in her project. HOME Answer

Multimedia-1000 True. As long as the students don’t use more than 10% or 30 seconds of the entire piece. HOME

Wild Card-1000 How does one make transformative use of a material? HOME Answer
