Multimedia Fair Use Guidelines
>> Technology and Copyrights
>> Multimedia Fair Use Guidelines. Faculty
and students producing multimedia were severely constrained by the copyright laws
that were written before it was so easy to perfectly reproduce images, sounds
and movies. Now there are guidelines for educators that describe what can legally
be used, without seeking permission, in educational productions.
