Can I copy material from the internet for research?
Providing that the website does not have any specific statements relating to copyright, material can be printed or saved for the purposes of research or study and providing that the copying is 'fair' and is not going to be distributed to others. It is also imperative that the work is attributed as being another person's work and the author is credited.
What constitutes research and fair use?
*The Macquarie dictionary defines research as "diligent and systematic enquiry or investigation into a subject in order to discover facts or principals."
*Fair use is defined as a 'reasonable portion' of printed music or text. This is around 10% of the number of pages or one chapter of a book or source.
