Study Notes

Understanding Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons

Works enter public domain after 95 years from publication (if before 1977) or 70 years after creator's death (if after 1977); corporate works enter public domain 95 years after publication or 120 years from creation, whichever comes first
Fair Use, part of copyright law, permits use for criticism, commentary, parodies, and educational purposes under certain conditions
Four factors determine fair use: purpose of use, nature of original work, amount of work used, and effect on the market of the original work
Fair use examples illustrate what may or may not be permitted, emphasizing the need for permission when in doubt
Copyright infringement can occur when fair use is not properly applied, such as copying entire chapters or works
Resources like Stanford Copyright & Fair Use Center and Fair Use Evaluation Tools provide detailed information and guidelines on copyright and fair use
Abiding by copyright law is crucial to avoid costly lawsuits, support creators, and do the right thing
Creative Commons licensing allows creators to grant permissions and limit user rights in a simple, uniform way
CC icons indicate different permissions: Creative Commons, Attribution, and Share Alike
Understanding CC licensing is essential for using, copying, and modifying works marked as "open access" or "open source"
Creative Commons offers free, flexible licenses in plain language for clear understanding of usage rights
It's important to consider copyright, fair use, and Creative Commons when using or sharing creative works to ensure legal and ethical practices
