To get copyright for a work
- must be original
- must be fixed
- must be a substantial part of the work -- size (amount copied) is not the only issue, but the importance of the segment copied, to the work as whole
- copyright owners can license others to do things s/he/it could do
- moral right - sticks to the author, is protected to the integrity of the work by the Berne Convention
- Not an infringement to make copies of rare works that are lost or damaged
- Research use is okay, provided the use is fair
- E.g. private study does not equate to making handing out copies to every student in a class for his/her own "private" study
- when in doubt -- contact the copyright holder
- CLA will develop a model copyright license
