Copying for educational use

Copying for educational purposes is permitted provided there is a sufficient acknowledgement and, in the case of the first category below (giving or receiving of instruction) provided such purpose is non-commercial. However the Act is clear that the copying must not be done by a "reprographic process" which excludes photocopying or scanning a work.

In order to permit copying by a reprographic means, (such as photocopying or scanning), many educational establishments obtain a licence from the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA).

Educational purposes fall into two broad categories:

for the giving or receiving of instruction, like teaching students how to make a film;
for the purposes of examination (setting, communicating and answering the questions).
