11 11 Educational-Use Guidelines The purpose of the educational-use guidelines is to provide insight to educators and students about how to apply the doctrine of fair use in a school setting. It is not a LAW. It is supposed to be helpful; however, it causes confusion between what is and what is not acceptable.

12 12 Consideration of Fair Use Fair Use can be measured in four ways: By the purpose and character of the use By the nature of the copyrighted work By the amount and substantiality of the portion used By the effect of the use upon the potential market In essence the work must be classified as transformative

13 13 Cases that deal with Fair Use & Copyright Infringement Wright v. Warner Books, Inc. BMG Music v. Gonzalez

14 14 Wright v. Warner Books, Inc. Author Richard Wright’s widow, Ellen Wright, sued Biographer Margaret Walker and Warner Books, Inc. for copyright infringement on the basis of Walker using information from his unpublished work. Walker’s biography about Richard included a few quotes from his unpublished works. The court ruled that the information was fair use because: the purpose was to extend knowledge to the public less than 1% of Wright’s work was used

15 15 BMG Music v. Gonzalez BMG Music sued Cecilia Gonzalez for copyright infringement because she illegally download songs and burn them to CDs. Gonzalez stated she was “sampling” music she may purchase in the future. The court ruled that the defense’s claim was not fair use because: the number of downloaded songs was an excessive amount copyright holders loss a profit due to the “sampling”

16 16 Now What?

17 17 The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education

18 18 The Code of Best Practices of Fair Use Educators can: make copies of newspaper articles, television shows, and other copyrighted works that can be reused. produce curriculum materials that have embedded copyrighted materials. share, sell, and distribute curriculum materials that have embedded copyrighted materials.

19 19 The Code of Best Practices of Fair Use Learners can: utilize copyrighted materials when creating new materials. distribute their work digitally if they meet the transformativeness standard.

20 20 Wrap Up... Ignorance of copyright and fair use does not make media literacy easy. Copyrights are meant to promote the spread of knowledge to others while Fair Use is intended to give others a right to use copyrighted materials within reason. Remember to use the Fair Use measurables to ensure that no work is being infringed. There are tons of materials that can help educators teach Media Literacy within the guidelines of Fair Use.
