eLearning Guild: Spotlight on CurationApril 5, 2017

Curation, Copyright and the Law…

Ben Betts

I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER!

We will try to stick to a combination of facts and the moral high-ground

This should not be taken as legal advice…

1. Typically, I’d call this linking and I think is mostly OK

8

Ben Betts

2. If it has an Embed widget, and no license issues… OK I think

3. This is probably stealing, unless heavily cited / permission granted

10

4. Is it accurately cited? What percentage is original content?

11

Ben Betts

Three Principles…

1. Check the License…

2. Apply the Principles of Fair Usage

3. Keep the Moral High-Ground

12

Ben Betts

Our first principle…

1. Check the License

2. Apply the Principles of Fair Usage

22

Ben Betts

Is it Factual or Creative?

23

Ben Betts

Is it a significant part of the whole?

24

Ben Betts

Does it damage the market for the original?

25

Ben Betts

I believe that…

If you use a significant part of a creative work and lessen the value of the original in

the process, that is not fair.

26

3. Keep the Moral High-Ground

27

Ben Betts

Keeping on the high-ground

1. Ask Permission

2. Don’t overuse one source

3. Cite your sources!

This works both ways if you are an author…

29

Ben Betts

If you create / publish original content…

1. Do you make it easy for people to ask permission?

2. Do you make it easy for people to grab a ‘snippet’ or widget?

3. Do you provide a citation?
