Copyright is the legal protection creators

have over the things they create.

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.

6 of 21

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

  1. Schoolwork & education
  2. Criticizing or commenting
  3. For news or reporting
  4. For a parody or comedy

Smithsonian Open Access has added over

2.8 million images to the public domain!

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

Music Modernization Act FAQ’s

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.

ND = NoDerivs OK to reuse the work for any purpose, but work cannot be changed/cropped, etc.

NC = NonCommercial OK to remix, adapt, and build upon the work for noncommercial purposes only,

pictures with Creative Commons licenses!

You only need to change the Usage Rights.
