Copyright and the internet what are schools allowed and not allowed

 Education and copyright are inextricably linked. A work can be a text, a video, a photo or drawing or other creative expression. This work must have an original character and a personal stamp of the maker. The emergence of the internet, digital learning resources and the rapid changes in education have made it unclear where the boundaries of copyright lie. In addition, copyright does not always work as you would expect.

In this publication we ask the questions that every education professional should know the answer to. The publication was created in collaboration with people from educational practice, the GEU and VO content. Together we bundled the most common questions about copyright and provide answers. In many cases we do this on the basis of practical examples, so that teachers and school administrators know what possibilities there are and where the pitfalls are.

Who gets the copyright?
As a rule, the creator (the one who creates the work) and the author (the one who acquires the copyright) are one and the same person. The author of a book or a student who makes a paper is both creator and author: they both receive the copyright to their work. But there are exceptions to this rule. For example, the Copyright Act provides that the copyright to a work that is made as an employee automatically belongs to the employer, unless it concerns a work that was not made in the performance of the job.

For instance: A school director makes the school guide during working hours. This falls under his duties. Copyright in the work belongs to the school under copyright law; the employer.

Another example: The same director writes a nursery book during working hours. This does not fall under his duties; he is a director after all. The copyright on the nursery book therefore does not belong to the school, but to the director himself. Who receives the copyright to the book is independent of the (employment law) discussion whether it is desirable for this director to do own work during working hours.



In addition, it is possible to make different contractual agreements about who is entitled to the copyright. An example: The same director writes a nursery book during working hours. This is not part of his duties. He agrees with his board that he transfers the copyright to the nursery book to the school.

Conditions for the use of a quote In order to be allowed to quote from a work, an educational institution must comply with a number of keep rules:

• Citing is only allowed when the original has been lawfully made public (ie you may not quote from a stolen manuscript of a book).
• A quote may not serve as an embellishment and must therefore be relevant in terms of content.
• A quote may only be a small part of the whole. A work may therefore not consist almost exclusively of quotations.
• Quotes should be short.
• The source and the maker must be mentioned.
• Quoting must not harm the creators good name or reputation. The quote must be correct. For example, you may not quote the sentence “I dont think so” from an interview, only the “I think so” part. The interviewees pronunciation changes because of this quote.

The creator and the copyright owner are not always one and the same person. In fact, the author doesnt even have to be a natural person. This is the case, for example, when an employee creates a work as part of his job. The employee is then the maker, but the copyright automatically belongs to the school (a legal entity). Are you the creator but not the copyright owner? Then you may not share or sell the work without the permission of the copyright owner. Finally, the copyright owner can not only sell his work but also his copyright. Someone else then gets the exclusive right to exploit his work.
