Copyright Fair Use Trivia Quiz

What types of work are copyrighted? Check all that apply.

When does someone get copyright protection?

How long in the U.S. does copyright last?

What happens to the work after the copyright time has passed?

Something must have the © sign to be copyrighted.

What is fair use?

What are the four factors that determine if the use of copyrighted material falls under fair use?

Non-profit and educational uses will generally weigh in favor of fair use as opposed to:

Mr. Smith rents a video and brings it to school. As a reward, the video is shown in the multipurpose room to reward students with perfect attendance. This is fair use.

A teacher rents Gone With the Wind to show the burning of Atlanta scene to her class while studying the civil war. This is fair use.

A student is doing a multimedia report and wants to use a small portion of of Kennedy's "We Shall Go to the Moon" speech. He presents the report to his class and then posts it on the school's local area network. This is fair use.

A student is writing a report for science class and uses copyright images downloaded from the Internet and cited correctly. He submits his project to a competition that recognizes classroom work for students and wins a prize for the school. This is covered under fair use.

A student brings a CD to school and lends it to a friend to put in his Keynote Presentation. This is fair use.

A history teacher taped the original ABC news report showing Richard Nixon leaving the White House after he resigned. She made it at home on her personal VCR and used her own tape. She uses the entire news program every year in her classroom. This is fair use.

A teacher produces a student video that they sell at the end of the year to buy equipment for the school. They use well-known popular music clips. The money all goes to the school and the songs are fully listed in the credits. This is covered under fair use.
