Copyright and fair use can be very confusing issues, particularly in education. Many educators over-estimate their protections and privileges under fair use. This book is an ideal resource to help educators determine how copyright and fair use impact them. It clearly describes, with specific examples, what educators can and can not do with copyrighted materials. We purchased copies of the book for all of our academic buildings on campus so that all students and faculty could have access to this valuable resource.

This book has many aspects of copyright and the impact on schools covered. Simpson provides some clear guidelines and realistic scenarios for the impact of copyright. She covers the development of copyright from the English to fairly present day issues even getting into some of the latest laws such as DMCA. I found the book to be very helpful in explaining the use of video in schools and have seen educators face such challenges.
