Re: [HAPS-L] How far does copyright go?

[Bob Tallitsch <RobertTallitsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kerrie: The below is true (especially the web site) only if those images are available to those in your class and not to the general public. (In other words you can't put images from my text on your personal web site that anyone can access; they must be limited to your institutions intranet.)

In addition, the fair use policy does not allow you to photocopy material from the text and distribute it to students in your class instead of purchasing the text.

Make sense?

They addressed this at a HAPS workshop on digital photography and powerpoints at the 2004 midwest regional conference in Palos Hills.  According to my notes (and I could be wrong - it was a while ago) - copyright begins at the moment of creation.  If you have adopted a text, you then have the assumed permission of the publisher to use images from the text and/or accompanying atlas, CD, etc. in powerpoint presentations, websites, etc. that are associated with the course that the text goes with and are not for profit.  However, if you use your own digital camera to take photos of models, posters, etc. for use in the same way, you must first get permission from the copyright owner.  We were told that most vendors are very happy to grant permission for use.  In addition, if you hire a publisher to do your own lab manual, they acquire copyright to any lab that you right.  They also will have images that they have gotten permission to use - or they will get the permission.

This is the best that I can do with my notes and memories of the workshop.  I believe that it was Glenn Carpenter and Mike Timmons who put on the workshop, so if you know one of these gentleman, you might consider asking them.  Also, I believe that I was given a web link at some point to copyright rules - you may try Googling it.
