Copyright at Independent Schools

(from Venable LLP) It is common for independent schools to grapple with a variety of copyright issues, including disputes over ownership of work created by teachers, unauthorized use of music or videos, and the impact of AI. School leaders will want to consider the questions below as well as the legal answers to them. 

• Who owns the copyright in the work created by teachers?
• What if the work is created by an outside contractor or vendor?
• What does "fair use" mean?
• Are there limits to "open-access" materials?
• Can schools play music and use photos available on the internet?
• How does AI impact all of this?
