How about distance & online classes?

TEACH Act (2002) permits digital transmission if: • Integral part of a single, typical class session. • Part of systematic, mediated instructional

activity. • At the direction of or under the actual

supervision of the instructor.

But there are limits: • Fair use (“reasonable and limited portions”) • Must be a legally-acquired copy (no “ripping”

or circumvention of DRM) • Transmission limited to students and

educators • Preclude retention of a usable copy as far as

possible (streamed vs. downloadable)

How about distance & online classes, con’t

• Actual damages • Profits • Statutory damages • Costs and attorney fees • Criminal liability • DMCA civil and criminal liability

What are the penalties?

Scenario #4

Can I show a bootleg video of a Grateful Dead show to my online class? How about in the

classroom? Can I make it available for download if it’s password-protected?

Creative Commons Basics

• An nonprofit corporation created to assist content creators in bypassing the restrictions of copyright: http://creativecommons.org/choose/

• A license you can get for your own work to ensure that it can be shared (or used by) others.

• Look for this CC in order to use work by others!

How Does It Work? …Creative Commons allows for “some rights reserved” • The creator gets to decide what those rights are rather than the law

• protects free exchange of knowledge and collaborative work • Gives control back to the creator to say “Yes. Use my work.”

Because copyright is all or nothing…
