5. Q&A
What do you
think is the
difference
between
copyright &
plagiarism?
6. Copyright Infringement
Construct of the LAW
Concerned with FIXED EPRESSIONS OF
IDEAS
“any infringement on the rights of a
copyright holder”
Copyright law gives a copyright holder
“a set of rights that they and they alone
can exploit legally.”
Copyright is limited by time constraints
and exceptions such as fair use.
Has one victim – the copyright holder
Plagiarism
Construct of ETHICS
Concerned with IDEAS
“taking the original work or works of another
and presenting it as your own”
“Anything that is seen as an unethical and
unattributed use of another’s original creation”
can be considered plagiarism.
It is possible to plagiarize something that does
NOT have a copyright, or things not covered by
copyright such as facts, ideas & plot lines.
Has two victims – the copyright holder & the
people who were lied to about where the work
came from
(Bailey, 2013; Electronic Frontier Foundation, n.d.)

8. the exclusive right to make
copies, license, and otherwise
exploit a literary, musical, or
artistic work, whether printed,
audio, video, etc
(“Copyright,” n.d.)
Copyright image is in the public domain.
9. Q&A
What exclusive
rights do
copyright
holders have?
The right to copy, distribute, display & perform
their work and to create a derivative work.
10. Literary Works
Music & Lyrics
Dramatic works & Music
Pantomimes and Choreographic Works
Photographs, Graphics, Paintings and
Sculptural Works
Motion Pictures and Other Audiovisual
Works
Video Games and Computer Software
Audio Recordings
Architectural Works
(Electronic Frontier Foundation, n.d.)
11. Q&A
What is NOT
protected under
copyright law?
Ideas, facts, data, logos, taglines, anything
created by the US government, works in which
copyright has expired.
12. Copyright status is AUTOMATIC upon
creation of your original creative work in a
fixed, tangible form.
Registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is
NOT necessary for copyright status and
protection, though registration is needed in
order to pursue an infringement claim in
court.
Quoted from (Electronic Frontier Foundation, n.d.)
13. Author/Creator
Author/Creator’s heirs if the creator is
dead.
Creators of a JOINT work share unless
there is an agreement that states
otherwise
Someone whom the author/creator has
given/assigned the copyright to
Done as “work for hire” for an employer
Given in exchange for publishing/recording
contracts
For professionally recorded music it can
be complicated since a recording may be
owned by the songwriter, performer,
producer, record label, publisher or a
combination of those entities Copyright Clearance Center (2011). Copyright on campus [Video screenshot]. Retrieved from

(Electronic Frontier Foundation, n.d.)
14. For original works created after 1977,
copyright lasts for the life of the author
+ 70 years from the author’s death for
his/her heirs.
For “works for hire” corporate works &
anonymous works created after 1977,
copyright can last from 95-120 years
from publication.
Anything published in the U.S. BEFORE
1923 has had its copyright expire.
Any unpublished work created BEFORE
1894 is in the public domain.

15. the status of a published work
or invention upon which the
copyright or patent has
expired or which has not been
patented or subject to
copyright
(“Public domain,” n.d.)
Public Domain image is in the public domain.
17. Citing a source or image is NOT enough to
satisfy copyright requirements – that only
covers the ETHICAL issues related to
plagiarism.
So, when can you LEGALLY use/modify
something?
If it is in the Public Domain, you CAN use
and modify it without asking permission.
If its NOT in the Public Domain, you need to
ASK permission first.
There ARE exceptions such as:
First Sale
Creative Commons Licensing
Fair Use

creative
commons do?
Provides a licensing tool that is free to use,
redefines copyright to say how you, as the
copyright holder want it to be used.
21. “one of several public copyright
licenses that enable the free
distribution of an otherwise
copyrighted work”
A CC license is used when an
author wants to give people the
right to share, use and build upon a
work that they have created.

30. Guidelines have been developed to help teachers determine what they
can do under the law
It is important to note that these are ONLY guidelines and that fair use
can be much more expansive depending upon how the factors of fair
use are balanced.
Use the Golden Rule:
If you were the copyright holder, would you see the use as fair and not
expect to be asked for permission?
LET’S TAKE A QUIZ!
(click here for quiz & discussion)
31. A journalism teacher annotates a newspaper
article from today’s paper and photocopies
it to teach his journalism students about the
format of a news article.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
This is FAIR USE because of the
transformative value of the material. The
teacher is clearly not making a profit and
will not cut into any market value for the
article. In addition, the work is nonfiction.
Also, the teacher is using the material for a
clear educational purpose.
32. A literature teacher photocopies an
unpublished short story written by Stephen
King and passes it out in her literature class.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
She is NOT protected by FAIR USE . The
courts have tended not to support
dissemination of unpublished works as such
sharing might cut into the future profits of
the creator. In addition, a short story would
be considered highly creative. Though
sharing the work was for an educational
purpose, the teacher is probably not
protected.
33. A teacher copies the balcony scene from a
film production of Romeo and Juliet and puts
it on his website for students to view.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
He is using a small enough portion of the work to be safely protected. This
teacher is probably infringing the copyright of the creator of the film. He has not
transformed the portion of film he has used. He might be cutting into the
market value of the entire film if others find it online and as a result didn't
purchase the entire DVD because the clip they wanted was available online.
Some might even consider that he has taken the most important part of the
work as well. Although the teacher might consider sharing the video
educational, it could also be seen as entertainment. However, it should be noted
that new exemptions have been made to the DMCA (Digital Millennium
Copyright Act) that gives "[p]ermission for college professors, film students and
documentary filmmakers to break copy-protection measures on DVDs so they
can embed clips for educational purposes, criticism, commentary and
noncommercial videos." Whether posting the subsequent work to a website
infringes copyright is unclear. You can read more about these new exceptions in
this New York Times article. K-12 teachers and students in other disciplines,
however, have not been granted the right to rip clips from DVD's. The bottom
line: tread very carefully with video.
34. Students write a skit parodying a scene from
the movie Titanic and film it. Their teacher
puts the video of the parody on his website.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
This is FAIR USE. Most forms of parody,
particularly transformative forms of art like
this video, are covered by the fair use
exception to copyright law. While the
purpose of such satire may or may not be
educational, it is clear that sharing a parody
clip will not likely cut into profits to be made
from the original film.
35. A teacher finds a photo online dramatizing a
pre-Columbian Viking landing in America.
Since the school symbol is the Viking, he
posts this photo on the school web page. It
links back to the original website.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
This is NOT FAIR USE. The teacher is not
using the image for educational purposes.
Merely linking to the original image is not
the same as obtaining the rights to
reproduce it. The image is copyrighted and
owned by the creator. The teacher did not
transform the image into something new.
36. A teacher makes color photocopies of public
domain art works published in an art book
and laminates them for use as posters in her
classroom.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
This is NOT FAIR USE. The teacher has not
transformed the work in any way. Even though the
art is in the public domain, the book is copyrighted.
Whether or not the use is considered educational is
a gray area. A teacher might have a hard time
arguing that using the artwork this way is
substantially transformative and would not cut into
the possible profits of companies who sell prints of
the artwork.
37. A professor gathers photocopies of chapters
from several textbooks and has them
photocopied and sold at a copycenter for
students.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
This is NOT FAIR USE. In fact, Kenneth Crews
describes a case against Kinko's in which courts
decided that such copying could cut into potential
profits for the textbook manufacturers, took a
substantial portion of the work, and was not
sufficiently transformative enough. While Kinko's
attempted to argue that their purposes were
educational, the courts found that the purpose was
more commercial.
38. A student uses the cover of a Life magazine
showing a flapper as part of a historical
presentation on the 1920’s. She shares the
presentation online in SlideShare.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
This is FAIR USE. The student is
transforming the work into a part of a larger
presentation for educational purposes. She
does not stand to profit from using the work,
nor will she likely cut into potential profits
from Life magazine by using the work.
39. A teacher creates a Kindle version of a
collection of poetry by Elizabeth Barrett
Browning with her explanatory footnotes.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
This is considered FAIR USE. Not only is the
teacher using public domain works, but she
is transforming them into something
potentially even more valuable with her
explanatory notes. While she stands to gain
commercially as a result of the use of the
poems, the purpose is also educational.
40. A science teacher uses AP images in an
interactive white board presentation about
global warming for her science class. She
saves the presentation as a PDF and uploads
it to her website so that her students can
download it later.
Quoted from (Fair Use Quiz
Discussion, 2014)
This is FAIR USE. The teacher is sharing the
images for educational purposes and will
not likely cut into profits the AP might have
made from the images. In addition, the use is
transformative as the images are part of a
larger presentation.
41. Q&A
Define media
literacy.
The capacity to access, analyze, evaluate and
communicate messages in a variety of forms.
42. Media literacy is “the capacity to access,
analyze, evaluate, and communicate
messages in a wide variety of forms.”
Sometimes it is taught in a stand-alone
course. However, it is usually
incorporated in many different subject
areas.
Media literacy provides some unique
challenges since it involves the
transformation of media.
So, HOW DO we apply fair use in such
situations?
Several organizations and associations
worked together to develop the Code of
Best Practices in Fair Use for Media
Literacy Education.
It includes 5 fair use principles.
About the principles:
They apply to ALL forms of media.
They apply in institutional settings as well
as non-school-based programs.
They concern the “unlicensed fair use of
copyrighted materials for education, not the
way those materials were acquired”
They are subject to a “rule of
proportionality”
Although “rules of thumb” exist – you do not
have to follow them exactly. Fair Use is MORE
flexible.
“The fairness of a use depends, in part, on
whether the user took more than was needed
to accomplish his or her legitimate purpose.”
(Center for Social Media, 2008)
43. Educators can:
1. employ copyrighted material in media literacy lessons
(such as making copies of newspapers, TV shows, etc)
2. use copyrighted material in preparing curriculum
materials for media literacy
3. share media literacy curriculum materials (that have
copyrighted materials embedded in them)
Learners can:
4. use copyrighted materials in their own academic and
creative work
5. distribute their works digitally to develop an audience
for the work IF they meet the transformativeness
standard. Center for Social Media. (2008). Code of best practices in fair use for

skills by engaging students in using
copyrighted materials to create their
own public service announcement on
global warming (5 min, 49 sec).

48. Use the Tool for Supporting Fair Use
Reasoning Process to decide if this is
Fair Use or not.
A group of students create a
documentary about John Lennon's
role as an anti-war activist,
weaving old news clips from
footage about the Vietnam War
and clips from various Lennon
songs to show how his lyrics
reflected his beliefs about the war.
49. Use the Tool for Supporting Fair Use
Reasoning Process to decide if this is
Fair Use or not.
A teacher uses a copyrighted
image, found on Flickr, adds the
title of the school play, and uses it
on a T-shirt to promote the
school's upcoming dramatic
production.
50. Is it plagiarizing when teachers use other teachers’ resources?
Only if you pass them off as your own. Otherwise, it is really a copyright issue. Either
their use falls under fair use, or you need to get permission.
How would an elementary teacher violate copyright/plagiarize? Or are we just
concerned with what the students are doing to violate these laws?
Both student AND teacher should follow copyright laws and avoid plagiarism. There are
no differences here other than differences in copyright based on fair use.
How do you stay away from copyright so you don’t get into trouble?
Copyright cannot be avoided. However, remember that items in the public domain are
free to use without permission. You can use items with creative commons licenses more
freely since they give certain permissions up front. Then follow the fair use guidelines.
How do you know if something has a copyright on it?
Everything created/made has a copyright. However, after a period of time, copyright does
expire. Refer to those guidelines.
51. How can you determine if a student’s work is taken from something that is copyrighted?
Anything that is not uniquely created by a student will be copyrighted unless that copyright
has expired and the work is now in the public domain. Determining plagiarism, on the other
hand, is more difficult. We will address that in the next section.
How do you get something copyrighted? Is there any material that you don’t need to put a
copyright on?
Copyright is automatic for anything created… books, music, videos, etc. Only ideas and facts
are not copyrighted. You don’t have to do anything to obtain a copyright. However, you can
register your work with the U.S. Copyright Office. This enables you to sue someone for
copyright infringement and provides additional legal evidence during such suits. You can also
license a work through creative commons to obtain one of those copyrights.
Can you legally download things that are copyrighted?
Yes, if you own them. Otherwise, you need permission or to follow fair use guidelines.
How much of a song can you use before it is considered plagiarism?
This is a question of copyright, not plagiarism. Approximately 10% or 30 sec of a copyrighted
song should be integrated into an educational multimedia/video project. For in-class listening,
you can play it if it been legally purchased and is intended for educational purposes. Public
domain songs can be used at will.
54. an act or instance of using or closely imitating the
language and thoughts of another author without
authorization and the representation of that author's work
as one's own, as by not crediting the original author
Using someone else’s work incorrectly
Using another’s work without giving credit

63. Q&A
What are some
signs that can help
a teacher identify
plagiarism?
1) Sudden changes in diction, 2) More than one font, 3) Uncalled for
hyperlinks, 4) Odd intrusions of first-person or shifts in tense, 5)
Outdated information, 6) Apparent quotes with quotation marks, 7)
Incorrect or mixed citation systems, 8) Missing references,
9) A paper that doesn’t really fit the assignment, 10) Getting a hit on a
search engine.
64. What if a person plagiarizes and truly doesn’t know they did that?
Ignorance is not an excuse. If you are the teacher, you can use that as a teaching opportunity. If
you are the guilty party, you will have to take the consequences and learn from them.
How often do students in colleges and universities get kicked out for using plagiarism?
That depends on the institution and their policies. There is a wide variety of responses and
consequences for plagiarism.
When you cite something, do you need to use APA citing?
No. However, you do need to include BOTH in-text citations/footnotes and a Reference List at
the end of the paper. It is highly recommended that you follow a specific citation style. For
Education, APA is usually recommended.
What are the common plagiarizing mistakes college kids make?
The most common mistake is to forget the in-text citations. In-text citations are required for
BOTH direct quotations and paraphrases. College students also frequently forget to put
quotation marks around small sections that they have taken from a source.
Is it plagiarizing if you use your own work more than once?
Yes. You are passing it off as a new work endeavor when you turn it in. Instead, get
permission first.
65. When you put quotes around wording from a text and list the page number is that ok? Or is that
copyright still?
This is a plagiarism issue, not a copyright issue. This is an appropriate way to attribute a source.
However, don’t forget to mention the author and include a Reference List.
Is looking at someone’s work and rewriting it with little difference in wording considered plagiarism?
This is paraphrasing, which is a great method for including material from a source. It would only be
considered plagiarism IF you did not attribute it to the original work.
How far can you go before it is considered plagiarism? How much of a text can you duplicate?
Plagiarism is always avoided as long as you use attribution, no matter the length. However, copyright
infringement may occur if you use too much, especially if it is the “heart” of the material. Follow fair use
guidelines to make that determination.
What constitutes plagiarism? I have heard that it is 4 words in a row that are the same in a work that you
are using.
Plagiarism has to do with not providing attribution no matter HOW much you use…. one word or an
entire paragraph.
I always worry about plagiarism and have used plagiarism websites in high school. However, I didn’t
believe them because they said I plagiarized from sites I never visited. What is a good online tool to use?
Most plagiarism tools compare a paper against web and book content, looking for exact phrasing.
Sometimes exact phrasing may be in several different places because of publishing/copyright sharing
agreements. Plus if someone else had plagiarized a source, the tool may identify it as a source as well.
Such tools will also indicate plagiarism for any quotations you use. So, double-check that those are in
direct quotes. There are several tools out there that you can use. TurnItIn is the most prevalent of those
tools. Additional ones to try for FREE are listed on the Education Research Guide. However, a simple
Google search can assist you in identifying plagiarism.
Can we copy pictures from the Internet without citing our source?
Only if the pictures are in the public domain, are stock photos for a software (such as Microsoft Office
photos) or you purchase them. Otherwise, all pictures (including ones with creative commons licenses)
require attribution.
