The purpose of this presentation is to provide the steps and standards to follow in the Brandywine School District when an employee or student intends to use copyright protected work for instruction in the classroom or for training and professional development for staff under the Face-to-Face or Fair Use exemption of the Copyright Act.  This presentation does not provide legal advice regarding whether an intended use of copyright protected work meets the requirements of the Copyright Act.

General Rule

The Copyright Act provides two exemptions for students and employees of non-profit educational institutions to use copyright protected work without written authorization from the copyright owner if the work is used for educational purposes. The exemptions are known as the Face-to-Face Teaching Exemption and the Fair Use Exemption. Exemptions provided by the Copyright Act

5. The Face-to-Face Teaching Exemption establishes criteria for using copyright protected work without authorization from the copyright owner to instruct students on lessons created by a teacher. This exemption does not create a legal right to use copyright protected work without authorization, but provides a legal defense to a claim for copyright infringement. The Face-to-Face Teaching Exemption places limits on who is eligible to use the exemption and how copyright protected work can be used. Face-to-Face Teaching Exemption Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act.

6. Who entitled to use the Face-to-Face Teaching Exemption?  Classroom teachers and students.  Non-classroom teachers (i.e. counselors, librarians, psychologists) if they are presenting a lesson or providing instruction to students. Librarians are entitled to additional exemptions as described in Circular 21 from the Copyright Office.

7. How Can Copyright Protected Work be used under the Face-to-Face Teaching Exemption? Copyright protected work can performed, displayed, or transmitted in a classroom (or similar place devoted to instruction within the building) by teachers or students as an aspect of instruction for lessons planned by a teacher. Classroom teachers can make one copy of copyright protected work to use in preparing lesson plans as long as the copy does not exceed fair use as descried below.

11. The Fair Use exemption establishes criteria to use copyright protected work without authorization from the copyright owner for the purpose of education, research and other reasons. This exemption does not create a legal right to use copyright protected work without authorization, but provides a legal defense to a claim for copyright infringement. The Fair Use exemption places limits on who is eligible to use the exemption, how much of the work can be used, and how long the work can be used without authorization from the copyright owner. Fair Use Exemption Section 107 of the Copyright Act

12.  For purposes of student instruction, teachers and students are entitled use the Fair Use exemption.  Other District employees providing instruction for training or professional development for employees may be eligible to use the Fair Use exemption for multimedia or presentations. The rules for teacher created presentations will apply in those circumstances.. Who is entitled to use the Fair Use Exemption?

13.  There is no simple or easy test to determine if the intended use of copyright protected work falls under the Fair Use exemption. The determination can be time consuming and complex, and is ultimately the decision of a court of law.  However, the federal Copyright Office recognizes a set of guidelines established through agreements between corporate copyright owners and several academic/artistic associations that provide criteria for the fair use of copyright protected work for educational purposes. Fair Use guidelines are listed in Circular 21 from the federal Copyright Office. Determining if the Fair Use Exemption Applies
