This article provides responses to five copyright scenarios—institutional
pricing, the face-to-face classroom, video copying and replacement,
film clips and streaming video—that are frequently faced by
librarians who manage and acquire media. Copyright is a particularly
complex area for librarians who work with media. Frequently, librarians
are confused about the legality of certain uses of media. This
confusion is magnified when vendors sell licenses to librarians when
they are not necessary. The Technology, Education and Copyright
Harmonization Act of 2002 is a convoluted law that many view as a
restriction of fair use rights. Fair use is a copyright exception that
can be applied to all of the exclusive rights of copyright including
public performances and digital transmissions. This article also suggests
that behavior affects how we interpret the law.
