I am putting together a Power Point presentation for code education on framing and the IRC. I contacted the ICC to let them know and was directed to email them a lot of detailed information so that they can grant me permission to use excerpts from the IRC, including some tables in the Power Point presentation. They promised me they would get back to me in about a week with a yes or no and a PRICE!Yes, you have to pay to do things the right way. I can't wait to see how much this is going to cost. I am hoping it is a nominal fee and not something crazy.
Does anyone else have experience with this or have any idea how much I can expect to pay for approval to use copyrighted material so that I don't infringe?
FROM THE ICC
http://www.icc.edu/innovation/PDFS/copyright/Copyright%20FairUseICC.pdf
The Fair Use Doctrine allows for limited use of copyrighted work for educational purposes. The 4 guiding
principles of fair use are purpose, nature, amount, and effect.
1. Purpose – For what reason is the material being used? Non-profit, educational use is favored for fair use, while commercial use is disfavored.
2. Nature – What type of work is it? Fictional work is more likely to require permission than with factual work.
3. Amount – How much of the work is being used? Guidelines that have been set by various organizations are not law, but these guidelines are usually followed. A general guideline for brevity is no more than 10% of the work or 1,000 words, whichever is less – providing it is not the core of the material. With recorded works, the guideline is no more than 10% or 30 seconds of the work.
4. Effect – What is the effect on the market or potential market for a copyrighted work? Copying large portions of a work, in order for the student to not have to purchase the book, would have an effect on the market for the work. Under the fair use guidelines, workbooks (without permission from the publisher) are never allowed to be copied due to this factor.
