s28 Performing or Communicating Material to a Classroom

• Does not apply to ‘copying’ material.

• Allows schools to perform and communicate material in class, or otherwise in presence of audience.

• It is a free use exception – no fees are paid.

See information sheet: “Performance and Communication of works and audio-visual

material – What am I allowed to do?” :http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/544

17

s.200AB: Flexible Dealing

• Rely on flexible dealing when no statutory licence or free use exception applies to your use.

• There are specific requirements which must be met.

• Flexible dealing is a free use exception – no fees are paid.

See information sheet: “The New Flexible Dealing Exception – What am I allowed to do?”:

http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542

N o

Am I teaching in a classroom or remotely, preparing to teach, compiling resources for student homework or research or doing something for the purpose of teaching?

- Is my use covered by Part VB of the Act (the Statutory Text and Artistic Licence)?- Is my use covered by Part VA of the Act (the Statutory Broadcast Licence)?- Is my use covered by another exception? Other exceptions include s28 and s200

- Am I taking more than I need?- Am I exposing the material to a risk of piracy?- Am I interfering with the quality of the material?- If I answer yes to any of these questions, is there something I can do to minimise

any prejudice?

2. Am I using this for giving educational instruction?

3. Is my use non-commercial?

6. Would I unreasonably prejudice the copyright owner?

Am I, my students, or the school making a profit or getting commercial advantage from this? (Cost recovery is OK)

- Is my use narrow in a qualitative and quantitative sense?- Is my use only what I need for my teaching purpose?

- Can I buy or get a licence for this use?- Is this use a way the copyright owner usually makes money from their work? - Will I deprive the copyright owner of significant revenue now or in the near future?

Covered by 200AB

1. Is my use covered by a statutory licence or exception?

4. Is my use a special case?

5. Does my use conflict with normal exploitation?

Free Use Exceptions: s.200AB

19

Flexible Dealing Uses

1. Make captioned versions of films for hearing impaired students when it is not possible to buy the captioned version.

2. Compile short extracts of audio-visual material for use in class (eg making DVD of short extracts of several films for a Film Studies or English class) when it is not possible to purchase similar teaching resources.

3. Convert a film or sound recording on DVD/CD to a digital file format when it is not possible to buy a digital version of the film or sound recording.

4. Include short extracts of music in PowerPoint teaching aids.See information sheet:

“Flexible Dealing and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 – What am I allowed to do?”

http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542

20

Flexible Dealing and ATPMs

A BIG PROBLEM:• You must not remove/disable an Access Technological

Protection Measure (ATPM) in order to make another copy or a format shifted copy.

• Most commercial DVDs are protected by an ATPM which means that you cannot format shift them into digital format.

See information sheets:“Format Shifting and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 –

What am I allowed to do?” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/529

“Technological Protection Measures and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/522

21

Flexible Dealing Dos and Don’ts

• Do not use pirated material.

• ‘Just in case’ format shifting is not permitted.

• Try not to copy more than you need. If you copy too large an amount, it might not be covered by this exception.

• It is good practice to label copies you are keeping with words similar to:‘Copied under s200AB of the Copyright Act 1968’

See information sheet:

“Flexible Dealing and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 – What am I allowed to do?”

http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542

22

s28, s200AB, Part VA &VB Overlap

YouTube

Can I stream YouTube videos in class? • A teacher may stream YouTube videos in class

under s 28. • The streaming may be directly from the YouTube

website or through a link to a YouTube video embedded on another website.

See information sheets: “YouTube: Use by Teachers” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855

“Performance and Communication of works and audio-visual materialin class – What am I allowed to do?”

http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/544

26

YouTube

Can I copy YouTube videos from home and use them as part of my teaching practice? 

• There is NO clear answer!

• You may be able copy a YouTube video and use it in class under s 200 AB BUT the terms and conditions of YouTube may not strictly allow this. 

• YouTube is now testing an option that will allow video owners to upload their videos under a Creative Commons so they can share their work with others.

Teachers Tube is a great alternative: www.teachertube.com

See information sheets: “YouTube: Use by Teachers” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855

“Teachers Tube: Use by Teachers”http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/858

27

Embedding Videos

Can I embed a link to videos on another website?• You may embed a link to a video on another website, such as a

class blog or wiki.

• Example: The YouTube website provides information on how to embed links to YouTube videos. (http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=57788).

• Sometimes, the video owner does not want others to embed their video and may disable this functionality. In this case, you should not pursue embedding the link.

• You may stream videos that you have embedded in another website to a class under s 28.

See information sheets: “YouTube: Use by Teachers” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/855

“Performance and Communication of works and audio-visual material in class – What am I allowed to do?”

http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/544

28

Itunes

Can I play music purchased from iTunes in class?

• There is NO clear answer!

• s. 28 allows for music to be communicated by teachers in the course of educational instruction, however, the iTunes terms and conditions only allow users to purchase music for "personal, non-commercial use" and not for "educational use". 

• Because it is unclear, we recommend that you format shift the song you want to use from a CD into MP3 format.

• This may be permitted under flexible fair dealing if all conditions are met.

See information sheet: “Flexible Dealing and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 – What am I allowed to do?”

2. Smartcopying

• Smartcopying initiatives are smart ways of reducing copyright costs and ensuring copyright compliance.

• Some Smartcopying initiatives include:

• Using Free for Education and Open Education material

• Labelling materials

30

Free for Education Material: A great alternative!

• While there is a lot that teachers can copy, the licence schemes and free use exceptions are restrictive and complicated:

• Teachers are burdened with complex copying limits.

• Teachers cannot modify, share or remix material except in limited circumstances.

• The material can only be made available to parents and the community in limited circumstances.

Free for education material is agreat alternative!

31

Free for Education: NEALS

• NEALS is a licence between the education departments of the various states and territories, DEEWR and the Catholic and Independent school sectors.

• It allows Australian schools to copy and communicate print and digital material for educational use free of charge from each other’s websites and publications.

32

Free for Education Websites

• Not all material on the internet is ‘free’.

• Some websites allow copying for educational purposes.For example, Australian Screenwww.australianscreen.com.au

• Other Free for education websites include:• Enhance TV: http://www.enhancetv.com.au

3. Practical Tips in the Digital World

• Remember just because it is publicly available on the internet does not mean it is “free”.

• Look for Creative Commons, Free for Education and Open Education Materials (E.g. use images from Flickr rather than Google).

• Always label material properly.

• Link to websites on an interactive whiteboards, LMS, wikis, blogs or the school intranet instead of copying the content.

52

Practical Tips in the Digital Word

• Material copied and stored under the statutory licences or flexible dealing on a LMS, wiki, blog or the school intranet:

• Must be password protected

• Should be reviewed regularly so as to avoid another payment being made after a 12 month period under the Statutory licences.

• For wikis and blogs that are ‘open’ to the public, only use Creative Commons or other ‘free for education material’.

• Never circumvent an ATPM.
