Copyright Quiz

She could have simply purchased it if she were going to use it for that many consecutive years. 4. Fair Use. While the program would prefer there to be licenses for each computer, I believe this would be permissible as long as the principle carefully monitors its use. I think it would be awfully difficult to make sure that only one class was using it at a time. 5. Copyright Violation. Purchasing a computer program and licensing it are two entirely different things. Normally, the fine print explains this to the user when the program is first opened. 6. Fair Use.

Copyrighted material may be used and remain in a students portfolio for as long as he/she wishes, whether the person asked permission or not. However, if the portfolio were publicly distributed, then this case would not be fair use. 8. Copyright Violation. Asking for permission does not mean it will fall under fair use. Actually, the opposite is true; fair use warrants the lack of permission. 9. Fair Use.

The creator of the web page would have minimal reasons to argue its use in general, more so in an educational setting; therefore it is fair use. 10. Fair Use. In other cases it would depend on the shows restrictions, but in this case Reading Rainbow permits educators to use its episodes for up to a year after it was broadcasted. Since the video is legal his students may use it freely for class projects. There is an issue with the science teacher wanting to use it for years thereafter because if these are his intentions he needs to purchase it after one year. 11. Copyright Violation. Regardless of whether or not the photo links back to the original page, the student may not use
photos from copyrighted web pages without asking permission

It would be extremely difficult for the school to make sure that the homes erase the program. 14. Fair Use. School Multimedia Festivals that honor classroom work are normally not in the realm of competitions, and solely exist to reward students for their accomplishments. 15. Fair Use. This is fair use because the teacher is attending a conference for educators. 16. Copyright Violation. Even though this is a fundraiser for the school, the focus is not on learning rather it is on equipment that will not be used for instructional purposes. 17. Fair Use. The teachers are only using the copies to evaluate their students work. This is permissible because the KidPix Player is just being used by students in the library. 18. Copyright Violation. The teacher who created the grading program has the right to cause them to stop using the program altogether, however, if the program were never for sale to begin with then he wouldnt have suffered any financial loss in this situation. 19. Copyright Violation. CATS has performance rights and the elementary school must buy these rights prior to putting on their mini-musical. Most schools make up for the cost of the performance rights by selling tickets. 20. Copyright Violation. This is not fair use because they cant tape if they have not even been asked for the show yet.
