Certain specific exceptions apply for education purposes.
You can copy any literary, dramatic,
musical or artistic work so long as the copying is not done by reprographic means. In other words,
you may write the text out on a blackboard, whiteboard or flip chart and have your students copy
down each word.
You can copy a sound recording, film (including video),
broadcast or cable programme if you are
doing this for the purposes of making a film or film- sound track while teaching film-making.
You can play or show a sound recording, film, broadcast
or cable programme for curricular
purposes. Once you involve the public, however, a licence may be required.
Copyright is not infringed by anything done for the purposes
of setting, communicating or
answering examination questions. However, this defence does not extend to the copying of a
musical work, nor does it cover copying as “practice papers” copyright materials included
in
previous examinations.
