The blog post provides this link to section 107 of the US Copyright code: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107
And, in the text of the statute is the following:
> Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
The above was also quoted by the blog itself. The actual statute says "the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords ... for purposes such as ... teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use) ... is not an infringement of copyright.".
So the statute explicitly details that the statement by the GP is correct. That making multiple (meaning more than one, 30 being more than one) copies for classroom use for the purpose of teaching is actually "not an infringement of copyright".
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoYou all seem to be willfully ignoring a very significant provision of the statute! > (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and Now as I said, one page of a 300-page text is not infringing and is definitely fair use. If a teacher makes 30 copies of all 300 pages of a 300-page book, what do you think? Fair use too? Ridiculous. The whole text of the law applies, not just the bits you are willing to cherry-pick here. Every YouTuber knows that fair use often depends on what percentage of the work has been reproduced.
