There is no doubt that copyright can be confusing. When it comes to education, the rules are even more confusing. Fair use is a concept embedded in U.S. law that recognizes that certain
uses of copyright-protected works do not require permission from the
copyright holder or its agent. Fair use is primarily intended to allow the use of copyright-protected
works for commentary, parody, news reporting, research and education.
However, not all uses in an academic context are automatically considered fair use.
Are you confused yet? Well, hopefully this Slideshare presentation (audio will play on playback) will help to answer some of your questions. I'ts an hour long, but its easy listening and you are bound to learn a lot of new information. If you have only a few minutes, click on a few of the slides to see what you can learn.
