U.S. copyright law contains a provision that allows limited use of copyrighted works without the permission of the owner for certain teaching and research purposes. Protects teachers and students as long as they meet the four requirements: Does NOT protect against ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Question #1. What is the purpose of your use of the copyrighted work? Go on to Question #2 if you are using the material for educational purposes. If you are using the material for commercial purposes, you must stop! Question #2. What is the nature of the copyrighted work? Is the work fact-based? Is it creative? If the work is fact-based, you can use it freely. If it is creative, go on to Question #3. Question #3. How much of the original work are you going to use? You are only allowed to use a small amount of an original work. Go on to Question #4 if you are only using a small amount of the original. Question #4.

Copyright protects "original works of authorship" that are Fixed in "a tangible form of expression." The fixed form does not have to be directly perceptible so long as it can be communicated with the aid of a machine or other device. Copyrightable works fall into the following categories:Fixed literary works (which includes computer software); musical works, including any accompanying words; dramatic works, including any accompanying music ; pantomimes and choreographic works; pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works; motion pictures and other audiovisual works; sound recordings; and architectural works.

Anything you create as part of a course (minus communication) is automatically copyrighted. That means, if someone uses your essay, and you can prove that it cost you money, you can SUE. As owner, you can: Reproduce the work Distribute copies of the work to the public Perform the work publicly Display the copyrighted work publicly Prepare derivative works based upon the work

A derivative work is a new, original product that includes aspects of a preexisting, already copyrighted work. Also known as a "new version," derivative works can include musical arrangements, motion pictures, art reproductions, sound recordings or translations. They can also include dramatizations and fictionalizations, such as a movie based on a play. Other examples of derivative works include: Translating an English novel into Spanish Remixing previously released music Creating a sequel to a film using characters and other elements from the original
