Sections

The tutorial includes an introductory section, four main sections, and example scenarios:

• The introduction provides an overview of the tutorial itself.
• The second section instructs the reader about the basics of copyright and public domain.
• The third section discusses the duration of copyright protection.
• The fourth section discusses licensed materials.
• The fifth section discusses the four factors weighed in fair use.
• The sixth section introduces teaching exemptions for fair use.
• The seventh section discusses podcasting and the TEACH Act.
• The eighth section explains what to do if the material you want to use is not covered by fair use or another copyright safe harbor.
• The ninth section provides some example scenarios and explains the legality of each.

Some sections contain a number of sub-sections. While the sections are arranged in a logical progression, each section can stand on its own, so it is not necessary to follow them in sequence.
