Captioning as Fair Use Transcript. « Return to video LILY BOND: Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining this webinar, entitled “How Copyright and Fair Use Impact Third Party Captioning for Educational Video.” I’m Lily Bond from 3Play Media, and I’ll be moderating today. I’m really excited to be joined by Blake Reid, who is an assistant clinical professor in technology policy and telecom law at Colorado Law. He has a great presentation prepared for you. I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it. We’re working with OLC, the Online Learning Consortium, on this webinar, and we wanted to alert you to a two part workshop that they’re holding on copyright and fair use. And before I hand it off to Blake, we have a poll for you to answer. So that’s really interesting. BLAKE REID: All right. So my name is Blake Reid, again. So let’s get started. So here’s a scenario that we’re going to talk about today.
So if you take nothing else away from the presentation today, the message I want to give you is to caption it. But there’s good news. CopyTalk Webinars | Offices of the American Library Association. George State Case: "Does Fair Use really work?" Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia. Appendix J of the Conference on Fair Use's Final Report dated November 1998 Summarized & Re-edited: April 2010 Dr.
Fritz Dolak University Copyright Center Ball State University In November of 1998, the much-awaited Final Report from the Conference on Fair Use (CONFU) (PDF) was published. In most educational institutions the CONFU process was considered a failure. The various guidelines that CONFU was mandated to accomplish were never achieved except for one: the Multimedia Guidelines. However, four positive results for the educational use of copyrighted materials come from these CONFU Multimedia Guidelines: 1. 2. 3. 4. It must be noted and emphasized that certain restrictions and portion limitations of copyrighted works apply and must be complied with and are extracted from the Multimedia Guidelines and reproduced below. 1.3: Applicability : Fair use analysis is maintained for the use of copyrighted materials. 3.2: Educator Use 4.0: Limitations 4.1 Time limit: up to 2 years.
DMCA Section 1201 Rulemaking to Determine Exemptions to the Prohibition on the Circumvention of Technological Controls to Copyrighted Works. On October 25, 2012, the Register of Copyrights and the Librarian of Congress announced new recommendations for exemptions to Section 1201(a)(1)(A) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Section 1201(a)(1)(A) of the DMCA makes it illegal to circumvent technological controls found in electronic devices that control access to copyrighted works. Section 1201(a)(1)(B), however, allows the Register to grant exemptions to be reviewed every three years.
In this triennial review, the Register upheld the legality of “jailbreaking” smartphones and decrypting DVD and e-book controls for the visually- and hearing-impaired. The Register also broadened exemptions for fair use of video excerpts. However, the new rules prohibit “unlocking” smartphones purchased after January 2013, forbid jailbreaking tablets and game consoles, and prohibit “space shifting.” What Do These Exemptions Mean for the EDUCAUSE Community?

I recently read the final, 350-page ruling in the GSU case and summarized it for key people in the library here, and I thought I’d share my summary for anyone else who wants to know just what happened in that decision and how it applies to libraries running eReserves operations. The full text of the GSU decision is available here (PDF). Please feel free to correct or add to this summary in the comments section. Also, IANAL (I am not a lawyer). I’ve included the text of the “Fair Use” section of copyright law at the end for those who aren’t familiar. This section, Section 107, lays out the most important exception to the exclusive rights granted to copyright owners and is the basis for most educational copying. Summary of the case: On May 11th, Judge Orinda D. Important facts: What we can learn from the decision The Role of the Classroom Guidelines: Judge Evans clarified the role of the Classroom Guidelines in important ways, and I for one was very happy to see her analysis here. 1. 2. 3.

Copyright technology: UCLA Streaming Video Case Dismissed. On Monday, October 3rd, a federal judge in Los Angeles dismissed the copyright infringement lawsuit brought by AIME (Association for Information Media and Equipment, whose members include Ambrose Video) against UCLA. The suit alleged that UCLA was infringing copyright and violating the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA by ripping DVDs, which were subsequently streamed via a course management system to students in a particular class (to which the students had to authenticate before gaining access).
The two major reasons for the dismissal decision were sovereign immunity and lack of standing. AIME argued that UCLA had waived its sovereign immunity when it signed a contract with AIME, but the judge rejected that argument as too broad. Also, the decision stated that because AIME is not the holder of any of the copyrights at issue in the case it lacked standing to bring the action. Fair Use and DMCA Aspects of the Ruling EDUCAUSE will continue to monitor and report on this issue. Copyright technology: The TEACH Act. The TEACH Act (Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act, 2002) (Section 110(2)) allows educators to perform or display copyrighted works in distance education environments. If you would like to show a video or display an image during your online class, you may want to consider whether that use is allowable under the TEACH Act. Implementing TEACH can be difficult because of its complexity and the many detailed requirements for instructors, technologists, and institutions.
The University of Minnesota is in the process of satisfying TEACH Act requirements so that its provisions may be available to the University community. Benefits of the TEACH Act Performances and displays of nearly all types of copyrighted works Transmission of digital materials to students at distant education locations Storage of copyrighted content for brief periods of time, such as that which occurs in the process of transmitting digital content Creating digital versions of print or analog works.
Copyright technology: Using Video and Audio in Teaching (online and otherwise) · University of Minnesota Libraries. Video and audio are increasingly present in our classrooms, and as out-of-class review, learning, and study materials In-class performances or display are usually okay! Most of the time, showing things to students in class, or performing things with or for students in class at the University of Minnesota is totally okay - there is a specific provision in the law that allows teachers to perform or display things, without limitation, in non-profit, face-to-face, classroom settings.
(If not for this exception, classroom activities could be public performances or displays that might require payment and/or permission.) Examples: Singing a song that all the students already know Playing or singing from sheet music (legitimate copies (fair use/purchased/rented) only) Watching a video (in whole or in part) from a DVD or VHS tape Listening to music from a CD, tape, or record It's not a flexible exception, like fair use - it only applies to teachers, and only in specific situations.
