Welcome to the Copyright Site!

This site is dedicated to helping educators everywhere in the United States understand the issue of copyright.

As an educator, there are three main issues you need to understand. They are: the Public Domain, Fair Use, and Intellectual Property. We have tried to make them as simple as possible, and have included more complex definitions and explanations in more detailed legal-like form if you would like to do more research.

Once you understand these issues, check out our teaching ideas section!
