26. TAKE A SMALL BREAK TO Discuss material covered up to this point!

27. TEACH Act Section 110(2) – This allows educators to show any work related to curriculum, regardless of the medium , in a face to face in the classroom. Expanded Rights- it has expanded rights in that it allow for the non-dramatic literary or musical work to be displayed. Also some limited portions or reasonable amount of any performance. Exclusions from Coverage- The Act only covers what an educator would show during class and not if the student can watch on their own time. There are some exclusions like it must be supervised, related to teaching content and must give notice that it’s copyrighted and it must not interfere with technological measures.

28. TEACH Act This is a good question checklist to go by when using the TEACH Act! Is this a nonprofit accredited educational institution or a governmental agency? Does It have a policy on the use of copyrighted materials? Does it provide accurate information to faculty, students and staff about copyright? Does It's systems interfere with technological controls within the materials I want to use?

29. TEACH Act Does the materials I want to use specifically for students in my class? Can only those students have access to the materials? Does the materials provided at my direction during the relevant lesson? Is the materials directly related and of material assistance to my teaching content? Is my class is part of the regular offerings of my institution? Will include a notice that the materials are protected by copyright?

30. TEACH Act Will I use technology that reasonably limits the students' ability to retain or further distribute the materials? Will I make the materials available to the students only for a period of time that is relevant to the context of a class session? Will I store the materials on a secure server and transmit them only as permitted by this law? Will I not make any copies other than the one I need to make the transmission? Did I copy only the what I am authorized to transmit?

31. Getting Permission What about if you know for a fact you need permission because your library does not have a license? What now? First, Check the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC)! For image achieves below there are already several professional organizations representing image creators. For the Freelance writers you can get permission from “INGENTA “ If you want to make a musical performance then check to se e if ASCAP, BMI, Or SESAC for permission. If you want to record or use recording by someone else then check THE HARRY FOX AGENCY, INC. THE RECORDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA represents major labels . What about public performance for movies? Check with THE MOTION PICTURE LICENSING CORPORATION, MOVIE LICENSING USA, and SWANK MOTION PICURES INC to get permission.

32. Getting Permission Are you in need of Contacting owners? the Project ACORN can help to find the copyright owner. What about Changed owners? Copyright office can help in the search. The importance of Authority! Make sure the person giving the permission is authorized to do so. In an ideal world the permission should be writing but it doesn't not have to be as long as its documented properly.

33. Getting Permission What about if you run into difficulty identifying the owner? The best thing to do is to check for alternative work in the public domain or under a creative commons license. You can also check manuscripts or with the source of the copy of the work. What about unidentifiable or unresponsive owners? Well, it is recommended not to use material where it was impossible to find it’s rightful owner but if it the institution makes reasonable effort to find and is willing to take a risk, then think about it.

34. Final Thoughts “If you don't move to protect copyright, if you don't move to protect our children, it's not going to sit well.”- Barbara Boxer
