(in)Game description (3094 characters)
Hover your pointer over a student for a question.
Click on student for an answer.
What is copyright?
What about me?
Doesnt the public have a right
to use music and art?
What is public domain?
What is fair use?
I found a great photograph
from the Smithsonian Web site?
Can I use it in my report?
Does it matter how much
of a song or video I use?
Cant I use images and text from
a site if it doesnt have the word copyright
or the copyright symbol © on the page?
Wow! I can show everybody
my project by putting it on
my Web page, right?
What is attribution?
I want to use a cool sound
recording from a Web site, but
I cant find anything about copyright.
What should I do?
Whos going to know?
Copyright is the law of the
United States that protects the
works of authors, artists,
composers, and others from
being used without permission.
Yes, in fact, the copyright law tries to
balance the rights of artists and others
with the rights of the public. Fair use
protects the rights of the public to
limited use of copyrighted materials.
Works that are not copyrighted
are public domain and may be
used without permission.
However, you should still give
credit to the source.
Fair use allows you to use a limited amount of
copyrighted material for your educational use. Think
about the material you want to use in your report.
Does it pass these tests:
Does it have a nonprofit educational purpose?
What kind of material do you want to use?
Are you using only a small portion?
Will your use deprive the author from making money?
Yes, the Smithsonian has granted
permission to students to use their
photographs for school reports. Many
materials are in the public domain at
government Web sites. Be sure to read
the copyright statements.
Yes. Amount refers to use of a portion of
a work. For motion media, you can use
10% or up to 3 minutes. For text
material, you can use 10% or up to 1000
words. For music, lyrics and so forth you
can use up to 10% but no more than 30
seconds of an individual work.
Just because a page doesnt have
the word or the symbol ©,
doesnt mean it isnt copyrighted.
In fact, almost everything on the
Web is copyrighted.
Not quite. When you put your material on a
Web page, then its being shown to an
audience outside your school. If you have
copyrighted material, normally exempted for
student projects within a school, your project
no longer falls under the fair use umbrella
You should always give credit or
attribution to the person who
created the work such as a
photograph, sound recording,
motion picture, or document.
The best policy is to write for permission
to use the file. Find the contact person
and compose an email message. Put
"Permission to Use" in the subject line.
Most of the time you will receive a reply
to your request. Do not assume that "no
response" means it is okay to use it.
Youll know! Besides, put yourself in the
authors place. What if you created a great
thing-a-ma-jig, but someone else got
credit? Or worse, what if you could sell
lots of thing-a-ma-jigs, but someone made
a copy so now no one would buy them?
