Digital Copyright for 21st Century Citizenship

Important points of Fair Use:

• Relevant to course content (no background)

• Used for face to face instruction on a closed network

• No duplication for distribution

• Credit/cite the copyright holder

• One-time use

• Licenses and contracts supersede fair use

Things to Consider

• many artists don’t make as much as teachers

• people are getting sued

• students have copyrights / district usually has some ownership too / teacher / campus

• If student is under 18 parents have rights as well.  Must have parent permission.

• Offer an opt out for parents/students
