How to get legal resources for your PowerPoints and other teaching materials
This is NOT
legal advice!
Advice by Dominik Lukes for teachers creating content
based on years of experience of
dealing with content and following
discussions about copyright and
licensing
What is free of
copyright?
Everything has a

What is copyright?

work is copied,
distributed, modified or
reused.

Disabilities

someone with a print
disability.
Made Load2Learn possible
but has many restrictions
Can I copy 10% of
anything for
educational purposes?
No!
Schools must buy a CLA
license to allow them to
make copies for educational
purposes
Can I use a
copyrighted image if I
give attribution?
No!
You must have a proper
licence or permission to
use copyrighted work.
Your license may include a
requirement of attribution.
Attribution on its own does
not constitute a license.
Don’t I have right
for fair use?
No!
Fair use a US doctrine,
the UK has fair dealing
which is similar but not the
same!
Fair dealing
Fair dealing is not a right it
is a defence!
Research (non-commercial)
Private study
Criticism
Review
News reporting
Never to distribute to
another person (e.g. make photocopies for all students)
Public domain
Copyright term has expired
Copyright is not applicable
Has been marked as public
domain by creator
Differs by country, type of
work, etc.
Works in the public domain
in the US, may not be public
domain in the UK.
US federal government
works in the public domain
but UK government under
crown license.
Unreliable. Better to use
works with an explicit
license.
