Guides for Copyright Compliance |
||
 |
The power to make copies does not make copying legal. Even though teachers and students do have extended privileges beyond what those in business can do, they may not cross specific boundaries. Here are some websites with guidelines to help keep projects and presentations within legal allowance: | |
| The most fun to read is an online comic book Bound by Law? Trapped In A Struggle She Didn't Understand from the Duke University Law School's Center for the Study of the Public Domain. | ||
| The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has prepared an excellent guide, "Copyright Applies To Everyone," which can be downloaded and kept on your hard drive for easy reference. In clear detail, almost every kind of material is listed with allowable circumstances for copying. | ||
