6.1 |
Where do I find the licence for a CD-Rom? |
The terms and conditions should be printed on the packaging or a pamphlet may have been included with the CD-Rom. In some cases it may be found on a digital file within the CD-Rom itself. |
6.2 |
Can we reproduce material from CD-Roms? |
This should be clear from the licence. If there are no terms and conditions, then the Statutory Print Licence applies and you can copy up to 10% of a literary, dramatic or musical work and the whole of an artistic work. |
6.3 |
Can we make a back up copy of a CD-Rom? |
Yes, if the CD-Rom only contains computer software. Otherwise no, unless the CD-Rom contains a licence agreement which may contain a permission. Legal advice should be sought due to the fact that CD-Roms will often contain several (often hundreds) of distinct copyright works. |
6.4 |
Are students able to reproduce material contained within the CD-Rom onto their own disc? |
Once again the licence agreement should be consulted first. If the agreement is unclear a student may reproduce material from a CD-Rom provided it is for their own research or study. |
6.5 |
Can a CD-Rom be lent to students? |
Yes, a CD-Rom may be lent to students unless the terms and conditions on the CD-Rom prevent this. |
