Copyright in an electronic environment

Students are not allowed to upload their multimedia projects to Youtube. This is because "Fair use ends when the multimedia creator loses control of his product's use, such as when it is accessed by others over the Internet. " There are limitations in how much copyrighted work a student can use. For video it is 10% of the video or 3 minutes, whichever one is less and it can not be altered in any way. A picture can be used in it's entirety, but you can not use more than five images from one person. For music you can use 10% or up to 30 seconds of music. Also, the music can not be altered in any way. Students do not need permission to use copyrighted materials if it is used for a school based assignment and that the material is not going to be gave out over the internet or in a mass way. It can be used for face-to-face instruction, demonstrations on how to create multimedia, presented at conferences, and for remote instruction, but can only be kept for a period of two years.
