Copyright is the legal protection creators
have over the things they create.
Watch video: CommonSense Media Video
Copyright doesn’t automatically mean, “This is mine. Don’t you touch it!”
You can always ask the creator for permission
to use their work. Often you can request permission by sending an email to the creator.
Link to permission given and permission denied examples
You can always search the Public Domain and Creative Commons for copyright free images, audio, and videos.
You can always take your own images and record your own sounds.
Fair Use allows for the use of copyrighted work
without permission, but ONLY in certain ways and
situations.
FOUR areas must be considered. Fair Use should not be a ‘pain’, but PAIN may help you remember.
FOUR Fair Use Factors to consider
Purpose -has to be a NEW purpose; must transform the original work into something new & different *see later slide for some examples
Amount -are you using only a small amount of the original work? There are no set “amounts,” like 10% of a work or one chapter of a book. Cannot use the “Heart” or essence of work (regardless of % of work)
Impact - does it impact the potential market or value; is the creator losing money?
Nature - easier to declare fair use if the original work is nonfiction or based in fact (rather than creative or fiction). Facts and general information are usually fair use.
Fair Use legal determination is on a case-by-case basis, but is more likely fair use if it is used for
Fair Use?

2.8 million images to the public domain!

“The Chicks” vocal group used several clips from the public domain, including this 26 second clip in their recent Music Video for Gaslighter
Users can choose to release their works into the public domain or select one of two Creative Commons licenses, so it is important to review the specific licensing and attribution information for each sound you plan to use.
USA Copyright Law for Sound Recordings
In October 2018, President Trump signed the Music Modernization Act, which will bring sound recordings into the public domain either 95 years after they were released or 120 years after they were recorded, whichever comes first.
