Copyright for the Rest of Us

Thomas Tobin shares about copyright for the rest of us on episode 411 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Just because you are an academic and you made a copy doesn’t mean it is for an academic purpose.
-Thomas Tobin

We hear more about what you can’t do, rather than what you can [when making copies of materials].

[As a layperson, I can tell you that] the law is the last resort. The law only applies when there is no other permission or license in place.
