Copyright and Education
What is"Fair Use"?
Copyright law allows portions of a copyrighted work to be used for specific educational purposes. This is referred to as"fair use." Hand replicating a cartoon character for a bulletin board is not necessary for learning and is not protected by fair use copyright. Handing out a photocopied comic strip for analysis is instructional (you are adding educational benefit) and would be protected under copyright law if you have written permission from the publisher.
