The Internet & Copyright
Consider the following:
“While the internet has opened
amazing avenues for education
and research, as well as
providing an overall shared
cultural experience, it has also
come face to face with
international copyright laws. For
the most part, the “openness” of
the internet is diametrically
opposed to the explicitly closed
nature of copyright laws.”

Copyright – Four Views
With regard to copy right we should
maintain FOUR views:
user or consumer - looking,
listening, reading and learning
re-user – an active consumer who
re-uses materials
creator and author of new
materials
distributor and publisher passing
materials on to other people

Case Study
Does Copyright Matter?
A lecturer is preparing a presentation for the next teaching session. They set up the
presentation and put in an outline text. Then they look around for specific information from a
subject association website, a web encyclopaedia and a couple of books they have at home.
The encyclopaedia and an image search provide images, some of which are cropped and
sized.
A photograph they have taken on holiday is added. A library subscription resource provides
an outline map which they annotate. A sound file from a CD makes a good start and finish. A
web link to a BBC video site provides a good discussion point. The presentation is loaded into
the teacher’s area of the VLE.
The lecturer uses the presentation with their group the next day and gets a good response.
The presentation is made available to the group through the VLE. The lecturer decides to
share the resource with their colleagues using a discussion forum.
Does the presentation use third-party materials.? What acknowledgements are
required?
Case Study
Perfect Image
A lecturer, accompanied by students visit a
Museum for a study trip they take photographs
on cameras and mobile phones.
Over the next week the lecturer will post some
of the images on VLE along with student’s
writing about the visit.
To consider:
Was permission to take photographs at the Museum
organised beforehand?
On the VLE is there a statement of terms and
conditions of use of the photographs and writing for
the audience or has the institution decidesd to use
Creative Commons licence?
Is there good acknowledgement of the Museum and
the exhibits or events shown in the photographs?
