It is unbelievable to see how many laws exist after reading the different articles about copyright. I think those laws are very important.
Different laws exist to protect the work that will be use in school and in different educational purposes. There are four factors that help the courts define what a fair use is:
· The purpose of the use
· The nature of the work
· The amount of work used in relation to the work as a whole
· The effect of the use on the market or potential income for the work
All four factors have to be taken into consideration in order to determine if it is fair or not fair use to use specific articles, video types, copies, etc.
I think that this information is necessary as a part of the curriculum on middle and high school. It should be available to everybody. Unfortunately I heard about it when I started to study my major in industrial design.
