Copyright information

Can I copy material from the internet for research?

Provided that information on found on the internet is used fairly for study or research, I am eligible to copy that information.

What constitutes research and fair use?
Generally, you can copy 10% of over 10 pages for a text/music publication, and 10% of words in an electronic publication, to meet the requirements of 'fair use'.

Can students ( university or school ) use music in videos that they make?

Yes, provided it is for the purpose of research or study, which will apply to most cases at an educational institution.
