MYTH #1 - No © = no copyright protection
- False; since 1989, you are not required to have a copyright symbol for your work to be protected by copyright law
MYTH #2 - Teaching uses = Fair Use
- False; Fair use, even for teaching, requires a case-by-case determination of each source used.
MYTH #3 - The internet is fair game
- False; copyright laws still apply to the internet
MYTH #4 - Quoting 250 words or fewer is always okay OR any video clip over 30 seconds is not Fair Use
- False; for a very short work, using 250 words may be much and for a longer video a longer video clip may well be determined to be Fair Use.
