  • if the user “transforms” the material in some way, repurposing it in a new media composition, for instance, then fair use likely applies.

  • Students’ use of copyrighted material should not be a substitute for creative effort.

    from NCTE's Monthly Intellectual Property Reports, Troy Hicks writes: "In November 2008, educators were introduced to the "Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education," and our concept of how to deal with copyright issues in the classroom has, literally, been transformed. As the official policy of NCTE related to fair use in the teaching of English, it is a document worth our attention as students learn to comprehend and compose texts utilizing a variety of forms of media."
