The rapidly changing technologies regulated by intellectual property law –among them computer and Internet technologies – are the source of debates on various legal issues, in particular issues related to copyright. In the following listening exercise, you will hear a discussion on the topic of the use of copyrighted material for educational purposes. An American junior lawyer named Thomas has been assigned to shadow two senior lawyers working on a case involving the ‘fair use’ doctrine in connection with distance learning courses. Thomas meets Patrick, the senior lawyer, and his associate, Rebecca, in Patrick’s office to begin shadowing them as they work on the case.

3. Listen to the discussion and answer these questions.

1. How do Thomas and Rebecca describe the concept of fair use in American law?

2. According to Patrick, what is the objective of copyright law?

3. Who does Rebecca think is in the stronger position now, copyright holders or educators?

4. According to Patrick, how many factors need to be taken into account when assessing fair use?

4. Decide whether these statements are true or false.

1. The ‘fair use’ doctrine only applies to the use of copyrighted materials in traditional face-to-face classroom situations.

2. Thomas has a basic understanding of what distance learning is, and is aware of one of the intellectual property issues that it raises.

3. Rebecca argues that in the future it is likely that a teacher’s right to use copyrighted material without permission will become increasingly restricted.

4. The four-factor analysis helps determine whether the use of copyrighted material falls under the ‘fair use’ doctrine.

5. Rebecca points out that the four-factor analysis is subjective and therefore not reliable.
