Copyright in Digital Video (DV) in Education
http://www.denbighict.org.uk/dv/article.php?36.0 Copyright : Digital Video in Education A major problem for schools is the thorny issue of Copyright for materials used in DV projects and the teaching of film language and DV techniques. The issue of copyright is complex and unlikely to be dealt with adequately in an article of this length. There are excellent Web resources if you need more detail on the subject - the links are at the bottom of this article. However as a general rule, if you want to stay legal, err on the side of caution. |

UK Intellectual Property
http://www.intellectual-property.gov.uk/ Welcome to the Government-backed home of UK Intellectual Property on the Internet. We hope to bring you all the answers to your questions and all the resources you need to find your way through the IP jungle of Copyright, Designs, Patents and Trade Marks. This site is designed to signpost you to the correct resource for intellectual property that will best satisfy your needs. The site was born in June 2000 as a result of a recommendation in the report from the Intellectual Property Group (IPG) of the Government's Creative Industries Task Force which was supported by The UK Patent Office Steering Board. The IPG recommended: "A single web site containing basic information about intellectual property should signpost users and creators appropriately, so that they can obtain licences for particular use and information to enable them to protect their rights, and should be sign posted from other sites where those seeking information might be looking." |

Creative Commons cc
http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons is devoted to expanding the range of creative work available for others to build upon and share. Creative Commons's first project, in December 2002, was the release of a set of copyright licenses free for public use. Taking inspiration in part from the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License (GNU GPL), Creative Commons has developed a Web application that helps people dedicate their creative works to the public domain ?or retain their copyright while licensing them as free for certain uses, on certain conditions. |

What is Copyright Protection
http://www.whatiscopyright.org/ What is Copyright Protection This page covers the basic definitions regarding copyrights. It has been written using the Berne Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property (Berne Convention) as the main bibliographical source, and does not refer to the laws of any country in particular. Therefore, comparing this document to the particular laws of your country may arise in discrepancies. However, copyright laws vary from country to country but as a rule do not contravene or provide less copyright protection than the Berne Convention, provided the country in question is a member thereof. |

Copyright in Education - Web Tools Newsletter
http://webtools.cityu.edu.hk/news/newslett/copyright2.htm Copyright in Education - Web Tools Newsletter Some readers of last week's newsletter on Intellectual Property in Education thought we gave too much weight to mainstream sources, with not enough regard for alternative thinking in the field. Our primary consideration is to provide educators 'interested in the World Wide Web as a teaching tool' with backgrounding, access to tools, and current awareness resources; the emphasis is on helping our audience deal with the challenges they face in implementing ICT strategies and resources in their educational practices. |

Schools, the Internet, and Copyright Law
http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech121.shtml Schools, the Internet, and Copyright Law Except for the occasional plagiarized passage or unattributed reference in student research papers, most veteran K-12 educators have had little experience dealing with copyright issues in their classrooms. With the advent of the Internet, however, their need to know about copyright law and to understand its implications for such activities as Internet research, downloading programs and documents, creating class Web sites, and installing software on school networks has increased dramatically. |

The Educator's Guide to Copyright and Fair Use in USA
http://www.techlearning.com/db_area/archives/TL/2002/10/copyright.html The Educator's Guide to Copyright and Fair Use in the USA It has never been a more important time to know the rules. As a result of laws written and passed by Congress, companies are now creating technologies that block users from fair use of intellectual property-for example, teachers can't pull DVD files into video projects, and some computers now block users from inputting VCRs and other devices In addition to helping schools steer clear of legal trouble, understanding the principles of fair use will allow educators to aggressively pursue new areas where technology and learning are ahead of the law, and to speak out when they feel their rights to copyright material have been violated. Now, take a quiz that will assess your knowledge of what is allowable-and what isn't-under fair use copyright principles and guidelines. There's also a handy chart that outlines teachers' fair use rights and responsibilities. |

Data protection / information security (UK)
http://buildingthegrid.becta.org.uk/index.php?resId=303#res303 Data protection / information security (UK) Under the Data Protection Act 1998, all schools processing personal data must comply with the eight enforceable principles of good practice. Data must be: - fairly and lawfully processed - processed for limited purposes - adequate, relevant and not excessive accurate - not kept longer than necessary - processed in accordance with the data subject's rights secure - not transferred to other countries without adequate protection. Schools (or LEAs on their behalf) are required by the Learning and Skills Act 2000 to pass information about pupils to Connexions, although parents or pupils have the right to instruct that no information be passed on beyond name and address. The fair processing notice (Word document) issued to parents needs to cover the provision of information to Connexions and the rights of parents or pupils to opt out of this. |

One of the most important lessons that we can teach our students about Net-based information is the concept that information is property. It results from hard work and remains the property of its creator unless otherwise clearly indicated. |

Is it a crime to copy?
http://www.education.tas.gov.au/0278/issue/023/copy.htm Is it a crime to copy? Carrie Russell argues that the use of scanned book covers in this way is lawful in her regular copyright column in a recent edition of the US publication, School Library Journal. If the posting of book covers in libraries for promotional purposes is to encourage borrowing of lawfully acquired book stock, then the practice may fall into an area of exception called ?air use? This is the right to use works in a reasonable manner without the prior consent of the copyright holder. When making a decision about ?air use?as an exception to the copyright law, librarians need to consider four factors; 1) purpose of the use 2) nature of the material 3) amount of the material and 4) effect on the market for the work. In a school situation, we want to use the copyright material for nonprofit, educational purposes, where the effect on the market is positive, as more users will want to borrow the lawfully acquired book. |
