NOTICE ON MATERIAL COMMUNICATED UNDER PART VA LICENCE

FORM OF NOTICE FOR PARAGRAPH 135KA (a) OF THE COPYRIGHT ACT 1968

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA

Copyright Regulations 1969

WARNING

This material has been copied and communicated to you by or on behalf of [insert name of institution] pursuant to Part VA of the Copyright Act 1968 ( the

Act ).

The material in this communication may be subject to copyright under the Act. Any further copying or communication of this material by you may be the subject

of copyright protection under the Act.Do not remove this notice.

28

29

Part VA: ClickView & Video Commander

Many schools now use content repositories such as ClickView and Video Commander to copy, store, manage, share and deliver broadcasts to hundreds of viewers at the same time across the schools’ existing network.

Schools can record and store broadcasts around the clock with ClickView 24/7 and share broadcasts with other ClickView schools using ClickView Exchange.

ClickView Home also allows students and teachers to view the school’s ClickView Library at home.

Part VA Copyright Implications

These copying and communication activities are permitted under the Statutory Broadcast Licence.

As these technologies facilitate copying and communication activities, costs under the Licence are likely to increase.

Schools should help manage copyright costs by:• Only copying what they need for educational purposes

• Archiving copies regularly – broadcasts available to students and teachers online for longer than 12 months are paid for again.

• Attach the mandatory notice.

30

31

Free exceptions

32

s 28 - performing or communicating in class

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

• A free exception – no fees are paid.• Does not permit copying – just

performing/playing in class

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



34

s.200AB: Flexible Dealing

• Rely on flexible dealing when no statutory licence (Part VA or Part VB) or free use exception (s 28) applies to your use.

• Teachers may copy videos (eg YouTube) and sound recordings (eg podcasts, music) under flexible dealing subject to certain requirements.

• Flexible dealing will not apply where it is possible to purchase a similar teaching resource

• 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?”:


36

S 200AB: Flexible Dealing - Examples

1. 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.

2. Format shift a film or sound recording on CD/cassette to a digital file format when it is not possible to buy a digital version of the film or sound recording.

3. Include short extracts of music in podcasts, films and PowerPoint teaching tools or learning 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

S 200AB and Commercial DVDs

Cannot copy from commercial DVDs.

• Commercial DVDs are protected by ATPMs - access control technological protection measures.

• ATPMs – any technology that prevents a user from easily accessing and copying the content on a DVD.

• It is illegal to circumvent an ATPM (eg CSS)

• Making a digital copy of a commercial DVD is likely to involve circumventing the ATPM and therefore is illegal.

See information sheet ‘Technological Protection Measures and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006’: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/526


38

S 200AB: Flexible Dealing Dos and Don’ts

• Do not use pirated material.

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

• Schools cannot make ‘back up’ copies of resources ‘in case’ the original is destroyed.

• Schools are not allowed to format shift their whole library or collection (eg, from video tape to DVD or a content management system) 'just in case' it will be useful later on.

• Any format shifting needs to be done for the purpose of giving educational instruction in the near future.

See information sheets:

“Flexible Dealing and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006 – What am I allowed to do?” http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/542

“Format Shifting and the Copyright Amendment Act 2006: what am I allowed to do?”: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/529



39

S 200AB: Flexible Dealing Dos and Don’ts

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

• Access to s 200AB copies must be limited to those students who need to use the material for a class exercise, homework or research task

• Remove once no longer needed the s 200AB copy from the LMS, school intranet, class blog/wiki, portal or interactive media gallery as soon as practical, once no longer required for the class, homework or research task.

• Label s 200AB copies 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?”

41

Tricky copyright areas: YouTube and iTunes

The terms of YouTube and iTunes provide that the content can only be used for ‘personal, non-commercial’ use.

This may not include copying by educational institutions for ‘educational use’.

4242

YouTube

Can I copy YouTube videos for use in class or as part of a resource?

• There is no clear answer.

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

• It is arguable that the terms and conditions do not form a contract and therefore are not enforceable because sufficient notice is not provided.

• YouTube now allows video owners to upload their videos under a Creative Commons licence so they can share their work with others.

Teachers Tube is a great alternative: www.teachertube.com For further information: “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

http://www.teachertube.com/



4343

YouTube: Linking and Streaming

Practical alternatives to copying videos off YouTube include:

• Directly streaming YouTube videos in class (permitted under s 28) – from YouTube website or via a link embedded on another website.

• Linking to the YouTube video. Linking is not a copyright activity as you are not actually copying the content.

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?”


4444

YouTube: 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 the

class blog or wiki, or school intranet and learning management system.

• 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?”


45

iTunes – music & video

When buying content from the iTunes store, you must agree to the store’s Terms of Use.

Terms state that iTunes products can only be used for: ‘personal, non commercial use’.

This expression may not include ‘educational use’.

See information sheet ‘Using iTunes’ at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/1049


46


Legally unclear whether iTunes contract prohibits the educational use of content purchased from iTunes.

Some risk that the school might be said to be in breach of contract if its plays or copies content purchased from iTunes.

However, sections 200AB and 28 allow teachers to use sound recordings and video for educational purposes without having to seek the permission of the copyright owner.

See information sheet, ‘Using iTunes’ at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/1049


47


You will need to find out whether your school has decided to:

•rely on the Copyright Act exceptions or •avoid using content purchased from iTunes due to the iTunes contract.

See information sheet, ‘Using iTunes’ at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/1049

48

iTunes - Apps

iTunes Apps terms and conditions permit educational use of apps

A school can download and sync an app for use:• by a single teacher on one or more devices that are used by

that teacher but which are owned or controlled by the school.

• by multiple students, on a single shared device owned by the school.

See information sheet ‘Mobile Applications’ at:


49

iTunes - Apps

Can’t download one copy of app and install on multiple devices, for multiple users

‘Volume App Purchasing’ – in US. Not in Australia.

App developers can set their own terms of use - check whether favourite app has specific terms of use permitting broader educational uses.

See information sheet ‘Mobile Applications’ at:


Smartcopying tips…

Link – link or embed material whenever possible. Don't download or copy.

Providing a link is not a copyright activity. You are not copying the content, just providing a

reference to its location elsewhere.

50


Label – always attribute the source.

• All material created and used for educational purposes should be properly attributed.

• Applies to both photocopied and digital material

• Attribution info needs to include details of the copyright owner and/or author, where the material was sourced from and when.

See labelling information sheet at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/532

51


Label – always attribute the source.

• Attributing is important to ensure that we don't pay licence fees for material we already own or are allowed to use

• eg teacher/school/student created content

See labelling information sheet at: http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/532

52


Limit – ensure access to material is limited to relevant students only

Once material is communicated to an entire institute/campus or jurisdiction, the risk of copyright infringement increases dramatically.

53



Limiting access is an important cost management practice.

Collecting societies believe that the value of content increases with the number of people who can access it.

54



Access to s200AB copies must be limited to those students who need to use the material for educational instruction, ie one class as opposed to an entire school.

55


Clear out unwanted content regularlyMaterial copied and communicated under the Statutory Licences is paid for again for every 12 months it remains 'live'.

Flushing material that is no longer required is one practical way of managing the copyright costs.

56


Clear out unwanted content regularly

Two options:

Archive – for material that is not currently being used but is likely to be used in the future.

Move it into a closed area on the repository or elsewhere online where it can only be accessed by one person, such as the school librarian, ICT Manager or teacher who uploaded the material to repository in the first place.

57


Clear out unwanted content regularly

Two options:

Delete – for material that the school no longer requires for educational purposes should be completely deleted from the repository.

This will assist in minimising the storage burden on the school as well as ensuring that the school is not incurring anniversary copying fees for material it no longer needs.

58


Use Open Education Resources

• Material whose owner has given permission for the material to be used for educational purposes, for free

• Depending on the licence, OER can also be modified and shared by teachers and students.

Some copyright challenges

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.

Open education and creative commons material are a great alternative!

“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 158 million people enrolled in tertiary education1. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million2 in 2025. Accommodating the additional 105 million students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years. 1 ISCED levels 5 & 6 UNESCO Institute of Statistics figures2 British Council and IDP Australia projections CC BY – C Green 2007

68

OER in a nutshellYou can do more with OER as

compared with 'traditional' copyright material

Copyright tensions

70

Compliance and Cost Issues• New technologies facilitate access to and storage

and sharing of copyright materials. • This makes copyright a serious issue for the

education sector as it must:– Ensure systems, teachers and students comply with

copyright law

– Manage increasing cost implications

• Eg schools paid c.$80m in 2010 for sector-wide licences (more on direct licences & own content)

71

Compliance and Cost Issues• Currently pay to copy freely and publicly available

internet content, under the compulsory statutory licence

• Current sector-wide licences & statutory exceptions do not sit well with the current ICT use in education:– content may not be modified

– content cannot be shared widely (eg with parents, community, other schools)

– Limit on how much you can copy/communicate

72

Website terms and conditions

Website terms and conditions can be unclear and confusing…or absent entirely

….meaning the intention of the website publisher with regards to educational use of

their site is unknown.

What they are

74

OER

teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, whether

you are a teacher, student or self learner.

they include: worksheets, curriculum materials, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, class activities, pedagogical materials, games and many more resources from around the world.

Free for Education (FFE)• ‘Free for education’ (FFE) material is similar to OER

material in that the copyright owner has given permission for the material to be used for educational purposes.

• However, FFE material may not permit a teacher to communicate, modify or share the material. This will depend on the particular terms and conditions of use.

• Many websites are FFE because their terms and conditions allow copying for educational purposes.

The Smartcopying website lists FFE: www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/936

• CC licences create choice and options for the copyright owner.

What is CC?

Attributing CC material• CC licences require that you label materials with:– author/copyright owner, – title of work and source, – the type of CC licence the work is available under – a link to the licence terms.• It is important to always check whether the creator has

specified a particular attribution.

• Open Attribute (http://openattribute.com) is a tool recently developed by Mozilla Drumbeat to assist users of CC material properly attribute the CC material.

For further information on attributing CC material, see:http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/scw/go/pid/956

107

Where should I place the attribution?

• For text resources (eg books, worksheets, PowerPoint slides etc), include the attribution details next to CC work or as the footer along the bottom of the page on which the CC work appears.


108

Example: Image licensed under CC Attribution licence

109

Eid Mubarak by Hamed Saber available athttp://www.flickr.com/photos/44124425616@N01/1552383685

Where should I place the attribution?

• For video works, include the attribution information near the work as it appears on screen during the video.

• For sound recordings (eg podcasts), mention the name of the artist during the recording (like a radio announcement) and provide full attribution details in text near the podcast where it is being stored (eg blog, school intranet, learning management system etc).
