Scrolls and Fair Use
Copying to Make Scrolls: In addition to what is clearly allowed, our district believes that copying to make scrolls is a fair use as long as the following two conditions are met:
- It is done to improve usability and/or accessibility. This transformative use clearly goes to use of the work. It also goes to the question of purpose and character for determining fair use of the copyright.
- The copying does not result in duplication or distribution, except where that is already clearly allowed. This goes to the question of effect for determining fair use of the copyright.
Copying Entire Works: As long as both of the above conditions are met, the district believes that copying entire copyrighted works constitutes use of the work and is allowed under fair use. While an objection can be made based upon amount and substantiality, the district believers that the two conditions listed above are sufficient to overcome that objection.
Examples of copying which the district think meet both of the above conditions including the following:
Examples of copying which the district think meet both of the above conditions including the following:
- A teacher makes a single copy of a unit from a textbook. The teacher makes the copy from the original purchased volume of the textbook which the teacher's school has issued to the teacher. The teacher makes a scroll from the copies, and uses the scroll to teach a class.
- A teacher makes enough copies of a unit from a textbook so that they'll have one copy for each class they teach. They make the copies from an original purchased volume of the textbook which their school has issued to them.
- A teacher makes one copy for each student in their class of a unit from a textbook, so that each student will have his/her own scroll with which to work. The teacher makes copies from an original purchased volume of the textbook which the teacher's school has issued to the teacher. The school has also issued each student in the teacher's class an original purchased volume of the textbook.
- In a variation of the case above, if the school has not issued enough textbooks to the class, and some students have to share, then the teacher only makes as many copies as there are textbooks, and those students who share textbooks must share the scrolls as well.
- A teacher makes one copy of a book. The teacher makes the copy from an original purchased volume of the book which they have checked out from the school library. The teacher makes a scroll of the book, and uses it to teach one student. When she returns the book to the school library, the teacher discards the scroll.
- A teacher makes one copy of a book. The teacher makes the copy from an original purchased volume of the book which the teacher has checked out from the school library. The teacher makes a scroll of the book, and uses it to teach a class. The entire class works with the one scroll. If a student is allowed to take the scroll home, he takes the book too. When the teacher returns the book to the school library, the teacher discards the scroll.
- In a variation of the case above, the teacher checks out from the school library several original purchased volumes of a book. The teacher then makes one copy for each of the originals. When the teacher returns the books to the school library, the teacher discards the scrolls.
