Copyright Regulations and “fair use” rules for educators.Suggested Handbook LanguageIn accordance with school board policy ECH, the following regulations will be observed tocomply with the copyright laws of the United States.Under the “fair use” doctrine, unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted materials is permissiblefor such purposes as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship or research. If duplicatingor altering a product is to fall within the bounds of fair use, these four standards must be met for anyof the purposes:The Purpose and Character of the UseThe use must be for such purposes as teaching or scholarship and must be nonprofit. Fair usewould probably allow teachers acting on their own to copy small portions of work for the classroom butwould not allow a school system or an institution to do so.The Nature of the Copyrighted WorkCopying portions of a news article may fall under fair use but not copying from a workbookdesigned for a course of study.The Amount and Substantiality of the Portion UsedCopying the whole of a work cannot be considered fair use; copying a small portion may be. Atthe same time, however, extracting a short sequence from a 16mm film may be far different from a shortexcerpt from a textbook, because two or three minutes out of a 20-minute film might be the very essenceof that production and thus outside fair use. Under normal circumstances, extracting small amounts outof an entire work would be fair use, but a quantitative test alone does not suffice.The Effect of the Use Upon the Potential Market for orValue of the Copyrighted WorkIf resulting economic loss to the copyright holder can be shown, even making a single copy ofcertain materials is an infringement, and making multiple copies can result in greater penalties.Prohibited PracticeNo one may make multiple copies of a work for classroom use if it has already been copied foranother class in the same institution; make multiple copies of a short poem, article, story, or essay fromthe same author more than once in a class term or make multiple copies from the same collective workor periodical issue more than three times a term; make multiple copies of works more than nine times inthe same class term; make a copy of works to take the place of an anthology; and may not make a copyof “consumable” materials, such as workbooks.

Permitted PracticeA teacher may make--for use in scholarly research, in teaching or in preparation for teaching aclass--a single copy of the following: a chapter from a book; an article from a periodical or newspaper;a short story, short essay or short poem (whether or not from a collected work); a chart, graph, diagram,drawing, cartoons or picture from a book, periodical or newspaper; may make (for classroom use onlyand not to exceed one per student in a class) multiple copies of the following: a complete poem (if it hasfewer than 250 words and is printed on not more than two pages), an excerpt from a prose work (if theexcerpt has fewer than 1,000 words or 10 percent of the work, whichever is less) and one chart, graph,diagram, cartoon or picture per book or periodical.A library may, for interlibrary-loan purposes, make up to six copies a year of a periodical publishedwithin the last five years, make up to six copies a year of small excerpts from longer works, makecopies of unpublished works for purposes of preservation and security and make copies of out-of-printworks that cannot be obtained at a fair price.Guidelines for Off-Air Recording of BroadcastProgramming for Education PurposesA broadcast program may be recorded off-air simultaneously with broadcast transmission (includingsimultaneous cable retransmission) and retained for a period not to exceed the first 45 consecutivecalendar days after date of recording. Upon conclusion of such retention period, all off-air recordingsmust be erased or destroyed immediately.Off-air recordings may be used once by individual teachers in the course of relevant teachingactivities and repeated once, only when instructional reinforcement is necessary, in classrooms and similarplaces devoted to instruction within a single building, cluster or campus, as well as in the homes ofstudents receiving formalized home instruction, during the first 10 consecutive school days in the 45calendar day retention period. “School days” are school session days--not counting weekends, holidays,vacations, examination periods or other scheduled interruptions--within the 45 calendar day retentionperiod.Off-air recordings may be made only at the request of and used by individual teachers and maynot be regularly recorded in anticipation of requests. No broadcast program may be recorded off-airmore than once at the request of the same teacher, regardless of the number of times the program may bebroadcast.A limited number of copies may be reproduced from each off-air recording to meet the legitimateneeds of teachers under these guidelines. Each such additional copy shall be subject to all provisionsgoverning the original recordings.

After the first 10 consecutive school days, off-air recordings may be used up to the end of the 45calendar day retention period only for evaluation purposes by the teacher, i.e., to determine whether ornot to include the broad-cast program in the teaching curriculum. They may not be used for student exhibitionor any other nonevaluation purpose without authorization.Off-air recordings need not be used in their entirety, but the recorded programs may not be alteredfrom their original content. Off-air recordings may not be physically or electronically combined ormerged to constitute teaching anthologies or compilations.All copies of off-air recordings must include the copyright notice on the broadcast programs asrecorded.Computer SoftwareDistrict employees may make a back-up copy of computer programs as permitted by currentFederal Law. Back-up copies may be used for archival purposes only and all archival copies shall bedestroyed in the event that continued possession of the computer program should cease to be rightful.When software is used on a disk-sharing system, efforts shall be made to secure this softwarefrom copying.Illegal copies of copyrighted programs shall not be made or used on school equipment.Approved by Board of Education: ________ Date
