Case Study...
Dr Canterbury has put together a
package of Teaching Materials. As
part of the Teaching Materials, he
has downloaded and copied various
items from the BBC News and Sky
News websites to show how history
develops. Dr Canterbury is not
worried about the copyright in them
as he knows there are exceptions
permitting educational use.
There are certain exceptions for
educational use, but they have
various rules and conditions that go
with them. There are also limits on
the amount that can be copied in
any particular quarter. Another rule
is that the exceptions do not apply if
licences are readily available from
the copyright owner, which they
would be from the BBC and Sky. The
exceptions are complicated and it is
dangerous for Dr Canterbury to rely
on them unless he is completely sure
that they apply. Otherwise, the
University and Dr Canterbury could
both be infringing copyright, which
is a serious matter.
