2. COPYRIGHT
• Copyright refers to authors or creators of work to
have protection over their work and creates
penalties for people who copy, distribute copies or
recreate their work.

3. VIDEO CLIP OF HOW COPYRIGHT
WORKS

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO REMEMBER
• Copyright is a LAW protecting intellectual property
and its creator.
• A work is copyrighted if it is Original, Creative, and
Tangible.
• It is complicated! If you think it might be illegal, it
probably is!
• (PowerPoint by Mia Kim Willaims)

5. FAIR USE
• Fair Use means limits to using authors work under
copyright law. Under certain circumstances through
authors permission and “copyright” you can use
certain parts without it being considered copyright.

6. FOUR FACTORS THAT FALL UNDER
FAIR USE
1. The purpose and character of the use, including
whether such use is of commercial nature or is for
nonprofit educational purposes
2. The nature of the copyrighted work
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used
in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
4. The effect of the use upon the potential market
for, or value of, the copyrighted work

7. IS IT FAIR USE OR NOT?

8. USES OF RESOURCES
• General Legal Use: legal use by public
• Fair Use: use under fair use guidelines
• Illegal Use: violation under copyright or fair use
guidelines

9. EXAMPLES OF USE
• General Public Use: Purchasing and downloading a
book onto your kindle and transferring it to your
iPhone or iPad
• Fair Use: Facts or lines from your book and putting it
into a paper for class with proper citation.
• Illegal Use: Using lines from your book with no
citation or reference of the book.
