Scenario:

Xuan teaches community journalists, Xuan has heard of exceptional use of resources under copyright, but is not sure what that means for her teaching. Xuan would like to make photo-copies of three different resources. One resource is a 10 page article from a local newspaper, another source is a 100 page textbook, and the third is a photograph. Xuan has heard that she can only copy a certain percentage of a resource. Xuan had a couple of different percentages from various people. While some people say the correct fair dealing (or fair use) percentage is 10 percent, other people say that the correct percentage is 30 percent.

Scenario Question

What exceptional uses can Xuan make of the resources, including how much of which resource and under what conditions?

Questions to test your understanding:

1. What is fair use?  What are the four factors courts use to decide if an activity is fair use?  What is a "transformative" use?

2. What is fair dealing?

3. What copyright exceptions apply in your jurisdiction?

4. How 'much' of a work can be copied under the exceptions?

5. What do the exceptions in your jurisdiction cover; quotations, examples, illustration, testing, practicals, experimentation, translation, research, transformative use?
