Photocopying in general

Photocopying in Universities

Five years ago - how to enter into the digital? Blanket licensing? -entire categories of works licensed -legal back up – ECL Copyright infobutton on WEB-material? -rightowners decide individually, what can be done with the web pages -CMO organizes the information -at least some of the works licensed by CMO On-line shop? -works and rights delivered digitally from CMO

Five Years Later… …and after 43 meetings blanket license was accepted On Line Shop – project finalized …and rejected In the end publishers were not willing to give material The scene of digital education had changed

Publishers used to give free permission: Teachers book/material Exercises, printed exams “Free promotional material” A side product when a certain book was chosen for a class Copyright notice: Free copying for educational purposes allowed Kopiosto – STOP GIVING FREE PERMISSIONS !

Licensing of “giveaway” material New practice recommended Unlimited copying of allowed - under the Kopiosto-license 90 % of publications follow the new practice 3.2 MEUR/year = 64% of photocopying revenue from schools

KOPIOSTO Digital License Scanning of publications Making available via closed networks in education Digital copying of material on web Open web Directly licensed materials are outside the blanket license Surveys Scanning in all educational institutes, eg. schools Copying from web

School survey ”What type of material You copied from WEB ? Share of observations Published educational material 33,1 % Material created by another teacher 9,6 % On-line magazine, newspaper 2,0 % News 6,2 % Scientific article 4,3 % Other article 4,6 % Research report 1,3 % Book 0,8 % Manual 1,4 % Advertisement, announcement 1,0 % Map Single photo, other picture 15,3 % AV-material (moving images) 5,6 % Other, what? 13,2 % Total 100,0 %

What and why teachers copied ? Most of digital educational material on WEB is interactive, not meant to be printed on paper?? In many cases copying is technically impossible What do the teachers copy and distribute to the pupils? If the net-access to the material is allowed to everybody, what is the point of copying it?

BINGO! Publishers have moved all their “giveaway” promotional teachers material, exercises, exams in pdf-format to their web-sites If a certain book is chosen for the class… Or if the class uses certain digital package... Free digital and paper copying allowed to whole the class Registration demanded an approval of license conditions = agreement

What is covered by a blanket license? If there is an agreement according to which the user gets the right to use digital material, blanket license does not cover Registration + licensing conditions = agreement = blanket license does not cover Regarding Kopiosto´s income from schools, this extra material is…crucial…

WHAT TO DO? We will create a process how the publishers/rightowners can voluntarily add to the blanket license works that are outside the scope of the license simple marking method for the web sites stating, that specific rules apply to this web material =CLA info button We will persuade Publishers NOT to give works and rights for free

Tuning the blanket license Open Internet unclear, what is allowed to do with web-pages Creative Commons etc. give users right to copy&distribute Simple marking system would define the core-area of blanket license Licensed digital material Often outside the scope of blanket-license A connection with RRO´s and blanket license important to find & define
