frequency generating equipment a Rife Machine.

RE: Copyright Reminder
October 30, 1998
This memorandum provides a general
description of the applicability of the copyright law and the
so-called "fair use" exemptions to the copyright law's general
prohibition on copying. It also describes "safe harbor"
guidelines applicable to classroom copying.
The federal copyright statute
governs the reproduction of works of authorship. In general,
works governed by copyright law include such traditional works
of authorship as books, photographs, music, drama, video and
sculpture, and also software, multimedia, and databases.
Copyrighted works are protected regardless of the medium in
which they are created or reproduced; thus, copyright extends to
digital works and works transformed into a digital format.
Copyrighted works are not limited to those that bear a copyright
notice. As a result of changes in copyright law, works published
since March 1, 1989 need not bear a copyright notice to be
protected under the statute.
Two provisions of the copyright
statute are of particular importance to teachers and
researchers:
a provision that codifies the
doctrine of "fair use," under which limited copying of
copyrighted works without the permission of the owner is
allowed for certain teaching and research purposes; and
a provision that establishes
special limitations and exemptions for the reproduction of
copyrighted works by libraries and archives.
The concept of fair use is
necessarily somewhat vague when discussed in the abstract. Its
application depends critically on the particular facts of the
individual situation. Neither the case law nor the statutory law
provides bright lines concerning which uses are fair and which
are not. However, you may find it helpful to refer to certain
third party source materials. Guidelines for classroom copying
by not-for-profit educational institutions have been prepared by
a group consisting of the Authors League of America, the
Association of American Publishers, and an ad hoc committee of
educational institutions and organizations. In addition, fair
use guidelines for educational multimedia have been prepared by
a group coordinated by the consortium of College and University
Multimedia Centers (CCUMC). These guidelines describe safe
harbor conditions, but do not purport to define the full extent
of "fair use."
The guidelines, as well as other
source material, are available through a variety of resources,
including through the world wide web site
http://fairuse.stanford.edu. Stanford University Libraries &
Academic Information Resources, in collaboration with the
Council on Library Resources and FindLaw Internet Legal
Resources, are sponsors of this web site. The site assembles a
wide range of materials related to the use of copyrighted
material by individuals, libraries, and educational
institutions.
I hope that the discussion below
helps to clarify further the nature of "fair use."
I. Fair Use for Teaching and
Research
The "fair use" doctrine allows
limited reproduction of copyrighted works for educational and
research purposes. The relevant portion of the copyright statue
provides that the "fair use" of a copyrighted work, including
reproduction "for purposes such as criticism, news reporting,
teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use),
scholarship, or research" is not an infringement of copyright.
The law lists the following factors as the ones to be evaluated
in determining whether a particular use of a copyrighted work is
a permitted "fair use," rather than an infringement of the
copyright:
the purpose and character of the
use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or
is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted
work;
the amount and substantiality of
the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a
whole, and
the effect of the use upon the
potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Although all of these factors will
be considered, the last factor is the most important in
determining whether a particular use is "fair." Where a work is
available for purchase or license from the copyright owner in
the medium or format desired, copying of all or a significant
portion of the work in lieu of purchasing or licensing a
sufficient number of "authorized" copies would be presumptively
unfair. Where only a small portion of a work is to be copied and
the work would not be used if purchase or licensing of a
sufficient number of authorized copies were required, the
intended use is more likely to be found to be fair.
A federal appeals court recently
decided an important copyright fair use case involving
coursepacks. In Princeton University Press, et.al. v. Michigan
Document Services, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth
Circuit concluded that the copying of excerpts from books and
other publications by a commercial copy service without the
payment of fees to the copyright holders to create coursepacks
for university students was not fair use. The size of the
offending excerpts varied from 30 percent to as little as 5
percent of the original publications. Although the opinion in
this case is not binding in California, it is consistent with
prior cases from other courts, and there is a reasonable
likelihood that the California federal courts would reach a
similar conclusion on similar facts.
Where questions arise, we suggest
that you consult the guidelines for classroom copying and other
available source material available on the fair use web site,
cited above. Please note that the guidelines are intended to
state the minimum, not the maximum, extent of the fair use
doctrine. Thus, just because your use is not within the
guidelines, it is it not necessarily outside the scope of fair
use. In the absence of a definitive conclusion, however, if the
proposed use deviates from the guidelines, you should consider
obtaining permission to use the work from the copyright owner.
In instances where the fair use question is important and
permission would be difficult or expensive to obtain, a member
of the Fair Use Advisory Group (described below) or the Legal
Office can assist in analyzing whether a particular proposed use
would constitute "fair use."
Some photocopying services will
obtain copyright permission and add the price of the royalties,
if any, to the price of the materials. A request to copy a
copyrighted work should generally be sent to the permission
department of the publisher of the work. Permission requests
should contain the following:
Title, author, and/or editor,
and edition
Exact material to be used,
giving page numbers or chapters
Number of copies to be made
Use to be made of the copied
materials
Form of distribution (classroom,
newsletter, etc.)
Whether the material is to be
sold
Draft form letters can be obtained
from or reviewed by a member of the Fair Use Advisory Group or
the Legal Office.
For certain works, permission may
also be sought from the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) which
will quote a charge for works for which they are able to give
permission. The Copyright Clearance Center can be contacted at
www.copyright.com or (978) 750-8400, but it may be easier to
go through a copying service that deals regularly with the CCC.
II. Course Reserves
Some libraries at Stanford will
refuse to accept multiple photocopies or to make photocopies of
copyrighted materials needed for course reserves without first
having permission from the copyright holder. Other libraries on
campus will accept a limited number of photocopies for course
reserves. Consult individual libraries for clarification of
their policies.
While the libraries have blanket
permission from dozens of journals, obtaining permission
sometimes takes a good deal of time. Experience in obtaining
permission has shown that an inquiry addressed to a journal
publisher frequently produces information that the copyright is
actually held by the author, and four weeks is often inadequate
to obtain such permission. Four to six weeks is considered the
norm.
Permission may be obtained in a
number of ways:
* Upon request, some libraries on
campus will obtain materials for course reserve. In these cases,
the librarian will write to obtain permission to photocopy or to
purchase reprints. However, most libraries do not provide this
service.
* Written permission may be obtained
by the academic department.
* Oral permission may be obtained by
faculty members, departmental secretaries, or library staff, in
which case a written record is needed of that action.
Note that filling course reserve
requirements may require two to three months before the quarter
begins if the library does not already have a copy of the
publication, if the publication is out of print, or if the
copyright holder is not readily available.
Questions about the copyright law as
it affects faculty and staff in their University capacities
should be directed to a member of the Fair Use Advisory Group
(see attachment) or to Linda Woodward in the Legal Office
(3-9751), who can put you in touch with the appropriate lawyer
to respond to your specific question. Questions about library
policy and course reserves should be addressed to Assunta Pisani,
Associate Director, University Libraries (apisani@sulmail or
3-5553). Information concerning the application of copyright law
to computer software can be found in the memorandum "Copying of
Computer Software" distributed by the Library and Information
Resources and in Administrative Guide Memorandum 62.
Thank you for your cooperation in
ensuring the observation of these guidelines.
