Fair Use On Images


There are six uses of copyrighted for
audios, images, pictures, and music
that would fall under the U.S. doctrine
of fair use due to the Visual Resources
Association. The U.S. doctrine of fair
use is essential to the use of images
for teaching, research and study;
without it, educator and scholars
ability to express themselves would be
severely curtailed.

1st Use: Preservation


Preservation is when you
store images for later use.
You may use images such as
pictures, drawings etc. These
images are repetitively used
in a teaching context.

2nd Use
You may use images like pictures,
drawings, videos, audios, and
music for teaching purposes only.
This means you can use images
only to show for the use of
teaching others in a classroom or
professional teaching use over all.

3rd Use
You can use images only when
your using images of both
large, high-resolution images
and thumbnail on a course
website and in other online
study materials

4th Use
You can use pictures, and drawings
when you use adaptations of images
for teaching and classroom work by
students not just teachers. When it
comes to music it must be at a 10%
length or a 30 second clip of the
song for it to be fairly used.

5th Use
You can use drawing and pictures as
fair usage when is you are sharing
images among educational and
cultural institutions to facilitate
teaching and study. When it comes to
videos it must be 3 minuets long, or
10% n length.

6th Use
You can use images as fair usage if you
use them as reproduction of images in
theses and dissertations.
Quoting from Howard B. Leighton images
are used extensively in teaching and
research. In the arts and art historical
fi elds, images are the foundation of the
discipline and have been widely and
heavily used in the classroom since the
last decades of the nineteenth century
and early twentieth century.

Fair Use
Bottom line of fair use. If your purpose is for
education it is fair use. If the nature of the work
is commercial it is fair use.
Audio & Video
When discussing fair use of audios and videos all
recordings must include a copyright notice
somewhere. Recordings cannot be played only
once for the students, with the possibility of one
additional viewing for reinforcement purposes.

Reminder
Teachers have broad rights when it comes to
adding images and audios in their lesson plans as
teaching tools. To know that your audios, videos
and etc. are safe to use you must remember these
steps down below.

Printed materials must be short works, or 10%


of longer works.

Videos must be 10% or 3 minuets long.

Music

must be 10% or 30 seconds long.

Copyright
If your purpose is to use these
images such as audio, picture,
videos and etc. for entertainment
or as a reward then it is
considered copyright infringement.
If you are selling others work to
another educator it is not
considered as fair use.

Fair Use & Copyright All


In One
Down below I found a great video that
explains fair use and copyright in a
great and quick way. This video helped
me understand fair use and copyright
quick.
