Can I copy material from the internet for research?
Yes you can copy material from the internet for research purposes however you should first check the website for copyright statements. This is also only possible as long as it is for research or study and is within the guidelines of what constitutes fair use.
What constitutes research and fair use?
‘Fair’ use of text material published in electronic form states that only 10% of the number of words or one chapter may be printed or downloaded.
‘ Research or study’ refers to the ‘acquistion of knowledge, as by reading, investigation or reflection” (Macquarie Dictionary). This method of investigation should require a degree of skill and analysis to acquire. Copying for research cannot be used for commercial purposes.
Can students ( university or school ) use music in videos that they make?
Primary and secondary students can make certain video and audio recordings of music through the joint licence agreement with AMCOS and ARIA (http://www.apra.com.au) . Students will be able to dub music however generally they will need permission to use music in videos.
