Copyright & Fair Use Laws
Grades 7-12
Think before you copy!
Copyright laws protect published and unpublshied work. You need permission from the author before you copy!
Fair Use allows you to use a limited amount of copyrighted material for your educational use. Ask yourself these questions?
* Does it have a non-profit educational purpose?
* What kind of material do you want to use?
* Are you using only a small portion?
* Will you deprive the author of making money?
