3.  Copyright is a legal device that provides the creator of a work of art or literature, or a work that conveys information or ideas, the right to control how the work is used. Stephen Fishman, Esq. The Copyright Handbook, 1996.  A verbal presentation that is not recorded cannot be copyrighted.

4.  There are three fundamental requirements for something to be copyrighted:  Fixation: ◦ The item must be fixed in some way. The fixation may be just about anything.  Originality: ◦ The work must be original. Originality includes a novel or a student's e-mail message to a professor.  Minimal Creativity: ◦ The work must include something that is above and beyond the original. Verbatim use is not considered original.

5.  Fair use is the most significant limitation on the copyright holder's exclusive rights. Deciding whether the use of a work is fair IS NOT a science. There are no set guidelines that are universally accepted. Instead, the individual who wants to use a copyrighted work must weigh four factors:  The purpose and character of the use.  The nature of the copyrighted work.  The amount and substantiality of the portion used.  The effect of use on the potential market for the copyrighted work.  http://www.umuc.edu/library/copy.shtml http://www.umuc.edu/library/copy.shtml
