Can I Use This? Understanding Copyright and Working with Open Educational Resources UBC LIBRARY 2011-12 Planning Review Presented by Ingrid Parent, University Librarian Devin Soper, Copyright Services Librarian
UBC Scholarly Communications & Copyright Office Will Engle, Open Education Initiatives UBC Centre for Teaching, Learning & Technology What does copyright
protect? Copyright Basics Copyright literally means the right to copy, and it protects creators of literary and artistic works (copyright owners) by enabling them to control the publication
and reproduction of their works Copyright protects all original literary, artistic, dramatic and musical works, computer programs, sound recordings, performances, etc. When
When is does does something something become copyrighted? become copyrighted?
Copyright is automatic Not sure? Assume the work is protected by copyright, unless there is a clear indication to the contrary. How Long Does Copyright Last?
In Canada, generally, life of the author plus 50 years For joint works, 50 years after death of last author Public domain = works for which copyright has expired or been waived
So, whats (mostly) always OK to use? your own work insubstantial portions of works (citations or
references) material in which copyright cannot exist material in which copyright no longer exists Government of Canada works hyperlinks (and embed codes) works you have permission to use openly licensed works
Can I Use This? often means Can I Use This (Without Permission?) But seeking permission is an excellent way to
answer the question! For everything else ... Three key considerations to keep in mind: source of the work purpose of the use
method of distribution New To Copyright In 2012 Fair dealing purposes now include education New and updated educational exceptions Reduction in statutory damages for noncommercial infringements (cap of $5,000) Affirmation of users rights and a large and
liberal interpretation of fair dealing From Murray & Trosow (2013). Canadian Copyright: A Citizens Guide, p.xiii. Fair Dealing Exception Allows you to use a copyrighted work for educational purposes (without permission), provided that the use is fair
Supreme Court of Canada outlines six criteria for evaluating fairness Evaluation is left to the user, and can get quite complex Purpose of the intended use education

dealing in different contexts, including: Teaching Research LMS Administrative copying Audiovisual works See: copyright.ubc.ca/requirements/fair-dealing-in-practice
