    Study Notes

    • Copyright is a bundle of rights granted to the owner of a work, including publishing, copying, adapting, broadcasting, and performing the work.
    • The owner is typically the creator, though it can be another person or entity under Australian copyright law.
    • The University's Intellectual Property Policy addresses ownership of copyright.
    • Exceptions exist for the use of copyrighted material, allowing for limited copying, licensing, or fair dealing.

    Policy and Legislation

    • The University follows the Copyright Act 1968 and relevant agreements regarding copyright.
    • Copyright infringement using University resources is prohibited and carries individual and institutional liability.
    • Copyright generally lasts for 70 years after the creator's death or 70 years after first publication.
    • For photos published after 1 January 2005, copyright lasts for 70 years from the end of the year the photographer died or 70 years after first publication.
    • Photos taken before 1 January 1955 are in the public domain.
    • Voluntary Licenses: Copyright owners can grant permission to use their work through licenses, which may have restrictions on use.
    • Fair Dealing: Individual staff or students can copy copyrighted material for research, study, or review under “fair dealing” guidelines.
      • One article or a "reasonable portion" (10% of total pages or one chapter) can be copied for most works.
      • More extensive copying may be allowed for research or study, but seek advice for specific situations.
    • The University is subject to statutory licensing for copying copyrighted material for teaching purposes.
    • Insubstantial Portions (6.3.1): Two pages or 1% of a work can be copied for teaching.
      • This is limited to a specific work and only on University premises, with a 14-day restriction on further copies.
      • Copying an entire work less than two pages in length is not considered insubstantial.
    • Multiple Copies (6.3.2): Under statutory licenses, the University can make multiple copies for teaching:
      • One article in a periodical or more than one article on the same topic can be copied.
      • Literary or dramatic works under 15 pages can be copied for inclusion in anthologies.
      • A "reasonable portion" of longer works can be copied, and more may be copied if reasonable investigation shows new copies are unavailable at reasonable prices.
    • Television and Radio (6.3.3): The University can copy all or part of broadcasts for educational purposes, unlimited by program type or number of copies.
      • However, copying pre-recorded material (e.g., commercially purchased videos) is not permitted.
      • All copies should be marked with the University name, a reference to Part VA of the Copyright Act, the date of broadcast, and the date of copying.

    Administering Statutory Licenses

    • The University has agreements with Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) for print materials and Audio-Visual Copyright Society Limited (AVCS) for broadcast materials.
    • Charges for copying are based on EFTSU (Equivalent Full-Time Student Units) and random sampling of student usage.
    • Departmental cooperation with sampling surveys is necessary to ensure the continuation of copying agreements.

    Computer Programs

    • The Copyright Act defines computer programs as literary works, but they are excluded from statutory licenses for educational copying.
    • Legitimate owners of computer programs are allowed to make a back-up copy for use in place of the original if it is lost, destroyed or rendered unusable.

    Further Information

    • The AVCC (Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee) provides guidance on copyright in "Copyright; A Comprehensive Guide for Higher Education" and "Copyright Bulletin".
    • These materials are available through the University Library.
