Copyright Decision Tool

Case One Newspaper Article-

If you were to publish a newspaper article for educational purposes, and it was part of the course pack, this would be considered a fair dealing. If you were to use this for anything else it would be considered an unfair dealing and would fall under the copyright act.

Case Two-Book

If you were to use a book for educational purposes as part of a class handout, this would also be considered as a fair dealing. If you were to use it to be published as your own, it would fall under the copyright act right away.

Case Three-Musical Score 

If you were to use a Musical Score for your own private study, this would be a fair dealing. But if you claimed it as your own it would be considered an unfair dealing.
