Copyright at university and schools.

Can I copy material from the internet for research?
Yes, as educational institutions (schools, uni’s andTAFE)  are able to use material copyright material without permission if they use in a reasonable and fair manner.

What constitutes research and fair use?
These educational institutions are using this information in a fair way, when they do not sell, or profit from the information. They may however copy material and make it available via email or the school intranet. In other words fair use occurs when the information is only used for educational purposes in an “reasonable amount”, not for extraneous profit.

Can students ( university or school ) use music in videos that they make?
Yes, schools and universities are capable of copying the majority of music, including copying/recording sound recordings, via the music licenses APRA, AMCOS, ARIA and PPCA.
