In my last posting I mentioned the need for a percentage based way of looking at how the copyright laws are reviewed and considered. After reading Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Media, I learned that these guidelines and percentages exist. "In the aggregate" was the key phrase used to consider portions of a body of work and how it applies to the copyright laws. I was surprised to learn that numerical data sets falls under the copyright laws and that only 10% or 2500 fields, the lesser of these, is what is legal to copy and use in instruction. This was a category I had never considered.
I found this reading clear and easy to follow.
