A short cartoon explains how copyright artists. - Files on Record chronicles important historical developments in copyright law. - Reading the Fine Print, answers common questions and addresses common myths about copyright laws. - Steps to Copyright, instructs students on registering their own works for copyright protection.

- Copyright Advisory Group from their "About" page It is becoming easier and easier to download and upload film, text, images and music. Just because it is easy to copy doesn't mean that you are allowed to copy. Artistic and literary works, films and music are legally protected by copyright. Each of the sections in **All Right to Copy?** is introduced by a video where two students, Donna and Joe, are trying to put together a website for a web design competition. Along the way they confront the issues of using other peoples material. Information on appropriate use of the different types of media is given in each of the sections.

 * All Right to Copy?** offers a guide to students and teachers as to what they can and cannot do when it comes to using the work of others.

[|Centre][| for Social Media literacy]
This document is a code of best practices that helps educators using media literacy concepts and techniques to interpret the copyright doctrine of fair use. Fair use is the right to use copyrighted material without permission or payment under some circumstances—especially when the cultural or social benefits of the use are predominant. It is a general right that applies even in situations where the law provides no specific authorization for the use in question—as it does for certain narrowly defined classroom activities.

[|From Sue Waters Mobile Technology in TAFE Blog] posted 4th October 2008

In early September [|EDNA’s Blogging Corner’s forum] debated the legalities of downloading YouTube videos because it’s a violation of YouTube’s terms of service to download. So I was intrigued that Simon and Matthieu information on YouTube states that:

A copy of a YouTube video may be downloaded under section 28 of the Australian Copywrite act provided that the copy is made solely for educational purposes and the YouTube video is not an infringing copy. Which motivated me to do some detective work!

Australian Copyright Council
First stop the Australian Copyright Council site on [|legal issues of use of YouTube in Education and teaching]. It does state **under certain conditions** under the Section 200AB of the Copyright Act **can allow** an educational in stitution to download a YouTube video without in fr in g in g copyright. I especially like the part that says if you haven’t read the Terms of Conditions and accepted their Terms of Conditions by signing up with YouTube then the ir conditions are unlikely to be legally b in d in g on you.

Australia’s Smartcopying site
Next I checked Australia’s Smartcopying site which provides a more detailed discussion on [|Teacher’s][| use of YouTube]. This site explains that the Flexible Dealing Exception of Section 200AB of the Copyright Act may allow the YouTube video to be copied. But it also states that each educational jurisdiction will need to make their own decision on what is permitted by the Copyright Act in light of YouTube’s terms and conditions. What does this mean? You need to contact your [|Local Copyright Manager] because interpretation may vary between Government and Non-Government schools in each Australian State or Territory. Here are the [|recommendations for Western Australia].

FINAL THOUGHTS
Safest bet is to make your own decision based on the most accurate information. Also remember that Copyright laws vary considerably between countries. Image by [|Jonsson] under [|Creative Commons License]. And if you’re enjoying this blog, please consider [|Subscribing for free]!
