Copyright and intellectual property issues are a part of the fabric of research and scholarly communications, and thus all Stanford faculty, students and staff need a working understanding of copyright law as it impacts their daily lives. The Copyright Reminder, which highlights common campus copyright concerns and outlines fundamental elements of US copyright law, is distributed annually to ensure that the Stanford community remains aware of those issues.
Face-to-face teaching
This exemption allows instructors to perform or display copyrighted materials during face-to-face teaching activities. For example, it is permissible to show a full-length motion picture in class as part of the classroom learning. Note, however, that this exemption does not permit copying or distributing a work -- only displaying or performing it during class time. Also, as the title implies, this exemption applies only to in-person presentations. It does not apply to distance learning or virtual classrooms.
