![Page 7: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Who is the Copyright Holder?●The creator is usually the copyright
holder.
●If two or more people create a work, they are joint copyright holders, with equal rights.
●With some exceptions, work created as a part of a person's employment is a "work made for hire" and the copyright belongs to the employer.
![Page 8: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

time:● Life of the author plus 70 years● Joint works: 70 years after death of last
author● For works for hire or anonymous works,
95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever expires first.

![Page 12: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

![Page 13: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fair Use
● §107, codified with Copyright Act of 1976
● Determined on a case by case basis
● Requires one to think and make a judgment
● You may never know for sure that a use of a copyright is fair or not
![Page 14: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Your Liability● Unlikely that an academic would be
taken to court, but still could happen
● § 504(c)(2) limits statutory damages for alleged infringers who work at a non-profit, educational institutions
● 11th Amendment : State/state agencies can’t be sued for dollar damages by the federal government
![Page 15: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Measuring Fair Use
1.Purpose and Character of use o Why do you want to use a copyright?
o Is the original work being transformed by adding new expression or meaning?
o Was value added to the original by creating new information, new aesthetics, new insights, and understandings?
![Page 16: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Measuring Fair Use
2. Nature of Publicationo What is the material that you’re using?
o Is it Factual or Fictional?
o Published or Unpublished?
![Page 18: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Measuring Fair Use
3. Amount & Substantiality of Portion Taken
o Amount: Less is more (except in parody)
Usually 10% rule
o Substantiality: Heart of a work or peripheral?
Ex: Gerald Ford Memoir in Harper & Row v. Nation (1985)
![Page 19: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Measuring Fair Use
4. Effect of Use on the Potential Marketo Does your use deprive the copyright owner of
income?
o Does it undermine a new or potential market for the copyrighted work?

Scenarios
Q: If I find it on the web, it’s free to use, right?
![Page 26: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Scenarios
Q: If I find it on the web, it’s free to use, right?
No. All of the copyright concepts apply to electronic and printed materials. Remember that it is not necessary to post a copyright notice for the author to have rights, even on the web.
![Page 27: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ScenariosQ: An instructor wants to give a class a copy of the Canterbury Tales to use for class. Will that break copyright?

ScenariosQ: An instructor wants to give a class a copy of the Canterbury Tales to use for class. Will that break copyright?
A: Depends on annotations and new copyright. The actual Canterbury Tales is in the Public Doman, but you need to be careful of any editions/ translations and such.
![Page 29: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

confines of law, that is)● If some rights retained, then within limits of
negotiated rights● If no rights retained, then fair use only
![Page 54: Copyright in Academia](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062406/55b1253bbb61ebb1678b46e5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

accessible – and possibly more● If published under a Creative Commons
license, then within limits defined by the license● If published traditionally, then fair use only

Take Aways
● We all own copyright until we sign it away
● Contracts are negotiable, including publishing contracts
● Think ahead to how you might want to use your work
● Experimentation via CC licenses, attaching addenda or negotiating isn’t scary and doesn’t negate peer-review prestige
