CLNZ suggests that we may easily treat publications the same way. While authors are usually happy for us to enjoy work for our personal consumption, as soon as we copy or share without permission, we get into the 'not fair' category, and fall afoul of the law.
What we can use under the education 'fair use' copyright is:
- Up to 10% of a book or 1 chapter
- 1 article from a journal
- 5 articles from a single newspaper
If we were going to use someone's thesis, we would need to get permission from the writer. If we wanted to use two chapters from a book, we would need to get permission from the publisher.
It is a pain that we cannot put together books of materials from a range of publishers, but it becomes far too complex to negotiate with everyone involved: authors, agents, tertiary institutions, copyright lawyers and publishers...
