Comments of University Libraries, University of Massachusetts, Amherst In the Matter of Copyright Protection for Certain Visual Works, Docket No. 2015-01
(2015)
Abstract
We write in response to the Notice of Inquiry on Copyright Protection for Certain Visual Works, Docket No. 2015-01, 80 Fed. Reg. 23054,1 Questions 4 and 5:
4. What are the most significant challenges or frustrations for those who wish to make legal use of photographs, graphic art works, and/or illustrations?
5. What other issues or challenges should the Office be aware of regarding photographs, graphic artworks, and/or illustrations under the Copyright Act?
We write to share the perspectives of those who teach with images and of the librarians who support those uses. We briefly review the array of teaching uses of images, and library support of those uses. We then examine impediments to these uses, contrast that with tools and doctrines that have proven notably beneficent to teaching, and conclude by extracting some principles for supporting teaching with images.Â
