6. Teaching Copyright
Plagiarism is the copying of someone else’s work and not giving them credit, but taking
it as your own.
while,
Copyright Infringement does not depend on you giving credit to the source you copied.
It is the unauthorized use of works, which infringes on the copyright holder's "exclusive
rights“.
To consider whether a piece of work(s) is being used fairly review the four factors
outlined in section 107 of the Copyright Act.
These factors are:
 The purpose of the work in question – was the quality of the work completely transformed to
create something entirely new, or was the work exactly the same as the copyrighted work? Is
money being made from the work in question, or is it being used for nonprofit, educational or
personal reasons?
 The nature of the work – is the work factual or creative in nature?
 The amount of the work used – has the entire work been copied, the most important parts of the
work, or a small segment of the work.
 What is the overall effect on the value of the copyrighted work – is the new work infringing on
productivity and marketing of the copyrighted material.

7. Teaching Copyright Continued...
Some fair uses for copyrighted work is as follows:
 Criticism and Commentary – Using pieces of work that
promote factual and historical events.
 Parody – Using small portions of copyrighted material that
depicts someone’s life and that would in no way be
substituted for the original works in any market.
 New Reporting – Using small portions of copyrighted material
for the use of news commentaries.
 Art – Using recreated images from one artist in another’s work
for the sake of new expression and meaning.
 Scholarship and Researching – Using pieces of work to
educate and inform the public if it is less than 1 percent of the
original, and for the use of scholarly analysis.

The Copyright Point-of-View
• Copyright protects creators’ ability to financially
benefit from their work.
• Copyright gives creators’ control over
who, when, and how their works are used.

expression by protecting new innovations.
• Without copyright, the incentive to be innovative
will be diminished.

• In order to have true freedom of expression, there is
need to use copyrighted work.

be difficult and expensive.

use, modify, and distribute creative works without
seeking permission or paying for its use.
