Fair Use Case Studies by Jason Henry https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg After reading the case studies, post a response where you learned Fair Use will protect using something in your classroom. en-us 2019-02-14 15:58:58 UTC 2019-03-26 21:26:44 UTC hello@padlet.com Fair Use https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/333172254 -Lis
Fair Use will protect me and allow me to make copies of a small text for teaching purposes. Teachers are also allowed under Fair Use to use videos but have to be acquired legitimately.  It is important to always check your sources and give credit where it is needed.]]> 2019-02-20 13:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/333172254 Fair Use protects me to use textbook images in my powerpoints, diagram notes, and/or exam questions in the educational classroom as long as the person or company who owns the image is not losing money on the image due to selling resource for personal gain. -Megan Tiwold https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/337113822 2019-03-02 13:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/337113822 Margaret Buell response https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/337226338 I found the Stanford University summary of Fair-Use court cases to be quite interesting. Also, I was assured by reading these summaries that I am not likely to be violating fair-use in my classroom (even as I make the digital transformation). But, most of these cases involved the suing of large media corporations. I applaud the smaller groups (e.g., The Authors Guild) who sued Google and can’t help but wonder whether Google just had the better/more expensive legal team to win the cases. 

The case scenarios summarized by Smith College were more interesting to me because they all involved college students doing work for college classes. I was surprised at the violations of “Fair Use” and also surprised that the students posted to YouTube without being more aware of Fair Use criteria.  Reading these summaries would be very beneficial to a college student entering a creative field. Again, given the nature of the instruction and assignments in my classes I am not worried about violating Fair Use in my classroom.

University of Minnesota provides their readers with the four levels of fair use to utilize in the construction of an assessment. The four levels include: purpose of use, nature of work, amount used, and market effect. The case studies and review of the case studies provided me with great examples of how I can ensure myself and my students are protected under the fair use copyright laws. I have printed out the four levels to keep at my desk as a reminder as to how I can ensure I am using the appropriate fair use copyright laws, and examples of the what activities my students can complete. My take from reading the fair use copyright laws; if you are unsure contact the text book providers or site providers to gain permission to use their product.

I am within the fair use guidelines because the song was written in 1963, so my use of it is not limiting the amount of money the artists receive. In addition, it is being used for educational purposes. I am not getting any monetary compensation upon using it and others have already re-recorded the song and turned it into a book. I believe that my copying of the lyrics is also within fair use guidelines because farleyt https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/340636970 they are being used for educational purposes, not performance purposes.]]> 2019-03-12 21:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/340636970 Field Vs. Google https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/340695492 This particular section kinda had me laughing in the aspect of "there is always a loophole". In terms of cache viewing, Google was not held responsible because of a small detail that said websites were able to turn off the view cache on their end (or something to that effect). It is amazing that the little things we think nothing of, end up being major "saves" down the line for someone. If Google never knew or gave the websites that option, they would have clearly been held responsible for the infringement. It makes me wonder how many things I do (for work or just personal) that are unknowingly breaking fair use policies.  Also gets me thinking, if I unknowingly do something against fair use policy for a product I use in my classroom, and are held accountable in some way.....I suppose I am on my own and have no district resources to help back me?

Fair use protects me when using these characters for two reasons. First is because whenever I use a character it is for educational purposes. For example in my lesson I used the flash to teach speed. The other reason I am protected is because the use of the characters is transformative and not a direct translation of the plot of the movie or TV show. I create the scenarios that the characters are in therefore not diminishing any marketing value of the movies or shows. 

Fair use also protects the other things I use while teaching such as pictures that I put on slideshows and interactive labs used on the computer. These are all used for edcuational purposes so they are allowed. Entire works of art/ literature are never copied.]]> 2019-03-13 13:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/henryj7/5g4h2i7s5hmg/wish/340864992
