Know Your Copy Rights: Asking the Rights Questions
What are Copy Rights?
Who Owns Them?
For How Long?
When Do I Need to Get Permission to Use Copyrighted Work?
Copyright Law provides for a collection of rights that exist upon creation of a work in a tangible medium, which can be transferred or waived in whole or in part. These include:
Distribute the work: publish, give away, sell
Make copies, reformat, create derivative works
Perform, display, and broadcast publicly
What are Copy Rights? What are Copy Rights?
"To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 8, Clause 8; 1787
(for 14 years after publication under the first copyright law of 1790)
Dartmouth Copyright Ownership Policy
Scholarly and creative works of Dartmouth faculty, students and staff are owned by the author or creator with these exceptions: •Assigned Tasks
•Outside Agreements (OSP handles these)
•Special Circumstances (shared copyright may be appropriate)
•Patentable Works (for dissertations, can restrict the distribution date)
Who Owns Copy Rights?

“Was the amount and nature of the material taken appropriate ….. in light of the nature of the work and of its use?”*
*From the introductory material in the “Codes of Best Practices in Fair Use for….”

Example of an interactive Graph Digitizer from Knovel. “In Knovel's version, each of the design and mechanical property data tables is interactive. Knovel has digitally calibrated hundreds of graphs, such as the effect of temperature on various physical properties and stress-strain curves.”

Stakeholders: Copyright owner-the publisher; the authors of the paper, the data collectors and chart creators
Pertinent copyright law: Who owns the rights to the article? To the image? To the graph?
IF the graph you want is the key point of the article, even if it’s a small portion, get permission.
Look at the two websites; one specifically states that it is available to use under a Creative Commons license and the other is a U.S. Federal government website and therefore in the public domain. So these can be used with attribution but do not require permission.
6 Creative Commons License Combinations
Attribution Non-commercial (by-nc) provides for building upon and remixing but NOT for commercial purposes
Creative Commons Search
Attribution Share Alike (by-sa) allows building upon and remixing the work, even for commercial purposes. The users must license their work as Share Alike also.
Attribution (by) alone provides for all kinds of uses, including derivative works.
Attribution No Derivatives (by-nd)
Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives (by-nc-nd) is most restrictive
Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike (by-nc-sa) provides for building upon and remixing but NOT for commercial purposes
Stakeholders: Who are they in this case? Do the copyright owners-the publisher; the authors of the paper-own the data? What about the data collectors?
Pertinent copyright law: Is it possible to copyright data? Who owns the rights to the data itself? Is using a program to extract data from a print graph any different than copying the data from the graph by hand into a spreadsheet for example?
A graph, an image or some text from my already published journal article, poem, story or book.
Remember that contract you signed?
Get permission IF: You signed away ALL your rights to the
publisher What you want to do is NOT in the rights you
retained You cannot make a Fair Use case

Stakeholders: Copyright owner-the publisher in this case; the authors of the paper who want to reuse the material
Pertinent copyright law: Who owns the rights to the article? Which rights? Exclusive rights?
Since he or she does not own any rights to the article due to signing the publication contract which involves transferring all copy rights to the publisher, he or she needs to get the publisher’s permission to use his or her work in his or her dissertation or thesis OR he or she needs to greatly rework it so it is not the same material.
Stakeholders: Student, faculty advisor, the institution because the institution has to follow the NIH mandate.
Pertinent copyright law: Who owns the rights to the article used in the dissertation? Which rights? Exclusive rights? Who owns the right to the dissertation?
She can use the Dartmouth Publication Amendment to retain the rights she wants.
She needs to find the owner of the image to get permission or not use it. She must of course cite and attribute carefully. Even though UMI is making a digital copy of her dissertation and can sell copies of it, UMI has a NON-exclusive commercial license, so that fact does not keep her from being able to publish this work in a journal.
Review your contracts carefully and ask for help in determining what rights you will retain or want to retain
Consider: what can you do with your material if you transfer all your copyrights to the publisher?
