A copyright is a type of intellectual property. A copyright protects original works of authorship as soon as author fixes the work in a tangible form. This prevents the work from being used by others without permission.

Examples of copyrighted works include literary articles, software, pictures, graphics, sculptures, architectural design, sound recordings, lyrics, audiovisual works, poems, plays, pantomimes, choreography and more.

Assume every work is fully copyrighted.

Fair use is the limited ability to use copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission.

Considerations for fair use include the nature of use, the type of work, the amount used, and the commercial impact.

A teacher in an educational setting does not have a free pass to ignore copyright laws.

Ask yourself these four questions:

Is the use transformative? Yes=Fair Use

Is the work factual in nature? Yes=Fair Use

Is the amount of use minimal? Yes=Fair Use

Does the use negatively impact the copyright holder's ability to profit from the work? No=Fair Use
