Clearances Section 5 Table 7 Exception Consent It is an infringement of copyright to copy a piece of work without the consent of the copyright owner Insubstantial part It is only an infringement of copyright if you copy a substantial part of a piece of work. Be careful – there are no hard and fast rules on how much of a piece of work may constitute a substantial part. It depends on the importance of the part to the whole of the work. The key riff from a piece of music may be a substantial part even if it is only a few bars long. For example, publishers tend to allow use of a single extract of up to 400 words without needing clearance. Non-commercial purposes You can copy literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works protected by copyright as long as you are doing it for private research or study and those purposes are non-commercial. You can also copy any work for the purposes of criticism and review. You must always clearly acknowledge any reference to the copyright work in question. Special education exceptions If you are teaching, you can, for example, copy a work protected by copyright onto a whiteboard and your students can copy what you have written. (The exception does not cover photocopying). Seeking clearance If you cannot use any of the exceptions which are available, you will need to get clearance to use someone else's IP. How do you go about doing this? It will depend on the type of copyright work you want to use. 25
