Clarification of fair use in education

Hi all,
I have been asked a question in the local school I work for.
We have multiple classrooms that each have their own budget to purchase music within the iTunes store. They have asked if it is possible for them to share the music with each other, for example - make it available on a network share to any device within the school for presentations / exercises. I'm unsure after reading through the terms and conditions if this is possible or against the TOS.
Please remember that this is a registered school, and the music is actually purchased by the school. Is it fair to use on multiple devices?
If anyone can point me in the right direction in the TOS that would be great.
Thanks in advance for your help

It means each person with a device needs to have their own Apple ID and purchase their own iTunes Store products. Now, that said please see the following:

  • I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

    I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

    Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Are the sound clips from Final Cut Pro Fair Use?, Are the sound clips from Final Cut Pro Fair Use?

    I recently found YouTube had flaged a video for containing a "third party" sound clip.  All clips I've used in videos for YouTube have come directly from Final Cut Pro X.  Any idea if the sound clips are Fair Use?  I'm not sure how to repsond to YouTube and don't want to get a mark against my account due to this.

    You can pretty much forget about monetizing that specific video. 
    [Okay... I'm going to ramble now...]
    To avoid problems with youtube, you need to post a copyright (like this: @2013 by Your Name) on the video (I recommend within the first 10 seconds) -- and you better have it *right*. If you use other audio and video, as long as you have secured the proper permissions for use, you can still claim a copyright to the video you post on YouTube -- it is your creation (but it better not be a single clip of somebody else's work being passed off as something you did -- just to be clear -- your videos need to have original content that you created in order to justify the © you put on it. If you use *other stuff* as long as it's *with* permissions, it's still your video.) [If your video is going to be monetized -- make absolutely sure you have that permission for *commercial* use! Quite a lot of sources will specify that their materials *cannot* be used for any commercial use without further permissions, if at all. With Apple Loops (pro apps music and sound) you do have that express permission to be used in commercial works as long as it follows the EULA. More below.)]
    You also need to specify the music and/or sound effects are "licensed from Apple Computer and used with permission" and you might as well state they are "made with Apple Loops". YouTube understands the EULA of the Apple Pro software (Logic, STP, FCP/FCPX, etc...) -- but even Apple licensed all that stuff from outside sources. Apple just takes care of paying "them" for it in advance so you don't have to (you buy it with the cost of the software license.)
    You cannot use any of the "music beds" by themselves, in their entirety (all those nice long demo pieces everybody likes so much and you hear several times a day on [local] TV commercials). The EULA actually specifically states this (although you might have to read it two or three times until it becomes clear...LOL). Even loops are not to be released "as is", in their entirety, in any "derivative work". So, basically, make sure some other sound is mixed in with it (if it's music, add drums or other percussion, harmony, or duck it under talking, etc...)
    The point is, no matter what audio source you have, if it is *music* (or foley) and EVEN IF you are the creator of that music or sound effect, you need to specifically put it in writing IN the video (not in the description). You need to reference the source (e.g.: stock footage by BottledVideo.com) and state it's being used with (or by) permission. [According to YouTube: I have copyright infringed MYSELF!!! just for leaving out all this *stuff* from my subsequent videos (music that I composed and performed myself on guitar... I was livid... but it stuck!).]
    I can pretty much guarantee that within minutes of  posting your video (if it is monetized) -- some real live person at youtube puts eyes on that video to make sure it is properly "signed". I can tell by how long it takes for the monetize checkmark to go from dark to light green -- usually less than 10 minutes.
    If your video is not monetized, and it's not a blatant violation, they probably will let you off with a warning, tell you that you don't need to do anything "right now" and it won't count as a mark against you... If it IS monetized, it won't be - they'll turn it right off and your chances of winning a challenge are almost 0 (unless you can PROVE you own the material -- and  I have won a challenge -- see * below);  and you will probably see a "Copyright Notices" (or similar) item in the menu on your channel settings. If you can redo the video - pull the old one, put in the new info and re-up it.  It's a royal PITA, but in this day and age, it's a necessity.
    All videos destined for youtube should be treated as mini motion pictures and be prepared as such with full "disclosures" in titling... Welcome to  21st Century Pox [This statement is not meant to be derogatory to 21st Century Fox or imply any association or criticism or slander, and is only to be intended to be received as a parody on a common phrase that is currently still in use... No words were harmed in the formation of this pun.]
    Get the point? YouTube tries to tell everybody -- but they've done a pretty lousy job of doing it. It's taken me, oh, I guess a year or so to learn to "behave" after wandering through a mire of confusing information from too many different sources -- and even if I am the sole producer of 100% of all the content in the video, I *still* have to place that © and "commit" it; it is *not* taken on faith.  I actually had to go back and reread all my licenses and interpret the legalese to figure it out. It would have been simpler if they just put it: Your video is a miniature professional production. Make sure it includes all titling to reflect all participants -- *just like you'd see in a modern major motion picture or a major broadcast television series* -- I think everyone would pretty much understand what that involves. You don't have to get quite that extreme, just cover you bases and your a©©.
    I tried to cover it all... but I'm pretty sure I haven't... so... good luck!
    *How I won my challenge with an Apple Loops composition:
    1) the music, even though using "canned" loops, was an original complex composition (I'll argue theory with anyone about this... it will be based on limited sets and recombinants as well as the theory of instrumentation and timing. In other words - I massage the heck out of loops until they don't sound anything like the originals. I almost never use audio loops -- always MIDI.) [BTW - this was another instance of copyright infringing myself - I had used the same music in a previous video I produced a year or so earlier... when I, like you, thought I was "free" to use the clips as I saw fit.]
    2) the music I used in the video was originally created in Logic and I made sure the ID3 tags were filled in with my name and copyright information
    3) I have a YouTube Associated Website (think this is a "partner" thing... and google "sanctioned") but if you see it, make sure you associate your domain. [I think you might be able to create a Google+ account and associate a domain that way if it's not part of your YouTube settings.]
    4) I uploaded the original mp3 with the ID3 tags to my associated domain.
    5) in the challenge, I 1) attached the original mp3 (w/ID3 tags); 2) gave youtube a link to the copy on my associated website for *verification* that the files belonged to ME; (and they already had the URL to the video in question -- a basic 3 point verify.)
    It worked. They accepted the verifcation. (And this was the first challenge I've been able to win.) [This was very recent. What about the others? I might get a chance to complete the verifications, but I know for some, I've used up my challenges. The only other option is to pull them and redo them...]
    One last word of advice: It does not pay to get "huffy", indignant, or righteous with YouTube in a challenge. They don't care.  <-- read that again a lot more slowly...  They have their own behinds to take care of — and your video (and/or account) lives (or dies) by their grace. If you read that and infer that I have been those things, then yes, I have... to absolutely no avail... even though I thought I was right (to the best understanding I had at the time) — they have rules. Be respectful. In general, they're pretty relaxed about all this even though it might not look that way to many users. Once you get the rules down, everything goes a lot easier... even if it is a little more work. You have to take responsibility for your own work.

  • Can I use my education discount to buy a reburbished computer

    CCan I use my educational discount to purchase a reburaised MacBook Pro

    Ok so another question are you going to pay full price up front for the phone, use Edge or do it on a subsidy? Also which model since they vary in price from $650-$950.
    Line fees on a More Everything plan are typically $40 per line.As I said being on Edge or being off contract would reduce that by $25 if you have a 10 GB data plan as you state you would. The 10 GB data portion is $100 but since your discount is 26% it will only cost $74.
    So to keep this simple until I get more info from you if you still had all 3 lines under contract, 3 smartphone lines and 10 GB with a 26% discount would be $194 a month before taxes and fees.
    Since you have 2 lines currently of contract, if you kept using your current phones or paid full price upfront for new phones you'd have 2 month2month discounts of $25 so that would drop your bill to $144 before taxes/fees
    If you bought the cheapest iPhone 6 on Edge your Edge payment would be $32.50 a month for 20 months. So for two iPhones 6es( assuming you got the cheapest one ) that would be $65. That would on top of the $144. So a total of $209

  • Fair Use and Toll Free Calls

    Can anyone tell me if calls to Toll Free phone numbers are included as part of the Fair Use limits of Skype?
    We use skype to call into training sessions that can run for 8 hours and we have it the 6 hour limit.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Fair usage policy doesn't apply to toll free numbers, because you can call these numbers without a subscription: https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA24

  • Just something that has occurred to me, re: backing up vs. fair use

    hey all,
    i am just wondering if the back-ups of my itunes library count towards the fair use limits on content i have puchased from the store. ie: did a full back up last night, and was planning on another one tonight. if i delete last week's full back-up and do another one tonight, does that count as another incidence of usage?

    Do you mean if it counts towards a computer authorization for your iTunes account?
    No.

  • Can I use the education discount to purchase a computer for my husband who is in school?

    I'd like to buy a computer for my husband who is in college. When I purchased my computer I used the education discount because I was in college at that time. I am wondering if I can use the education discount for purchasing a computer for him. I noticed that on the terms you need to agree to in order to use it you have to either be the student, faculty, or a parent. I was wondering if spouse counted.

    You need a valid .edu email address, IIRC.
    Since he is the student, he can make the purchase and get the discount.
    Won't work real well if you're planning on gifting the Mac.

  • I bought a fairly used iPhone and I can't update items on my phone

    I Bought a fairly used iPhone. The problem here is I can download items but I can't update them

    If you are trying to update apps that were on the iPhone when you got it, that means that those are the previous owner's apps, you are not authorized to use them, and the previous owner did not do what they were supposed to. They should have done this: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

  • Fair use vid clip extraction

    Greetings:
    I'm not really sure where I should post this question, so I'm putting it here.
    I want to be able to do some "fair use" video extraction/burning. Example.....I have purchased several DVD sets of old tv shows (Rockford files etc.). On more than one occasion--like when going out of town on business--I've thought it would be nice to be able to extract individual chuncks/episodes of several disks & then burn them on a "temp" DVD-RW for use while gone. In this way I wouldn't have to carry multiple DVDs, & more importantly, my costly originals could remain safely at home.
    So the question is 2-fold......(1) will any Mac product accomplish what I'm looking for and (2) if not, does ANYONE make a product that does what I'm talking about???
    Thanks!
    Tim Manwell

    I think you should be able to select individual episodes depending on how they are arranged on the DVD. From the Mac The Ripper web site http://www.mactheripper.org/
    If you only want to extract a certain title set (video track) from the DVD besides the main title set, you can choose the 'Title Set Extraction' option, and setting the title set number you want to extract. This might involve a little trial and error to get the desired one.
    If you want to extract only a particular title, you can choose the 'Title Only Extraction' option, and set the title number you wish to extract. The main feature title is indicated with the letters '(MF)'.
    And then there are other extraction options. So you might just download it and play around with it and see if it does what you want. Free download.

  • Copyright fair use - using video excerpt on portfolio website

    Not necessarily FCP-related, but thought some of the videos pros out there might be able to help: Have created a video for a client, full copyright transferred to client, as always. No specific copyright agreement signed. I added a 20-second excerpt of the clip (total length 4 minutes) on my company's website as part of our design portfolio.
    Now the client has asked me to remove the clip as it infringes copyrights. Don't I have the right to showcase my work as part of the 'fair use' copyright policy?
    Thanks for any hints (or links)!

    It should have been a part of your initial agreement, something to the effect of "we shall retain a number of copies for promotional use, which may include demo reels and website use." And then haggle from there.
    I have a couple of clients with whom I sign NDA's-- with one of them I cannot even admit that they are a client. What looks to you like a real snazzy piece of video for your reel may be, to them, a proprietary piece of information.

  • Can you use Apple education discount in store?

    I'm a sixth form student, and I have a UniDays student discount which allows me to get up to 15% off a Macbook on the Apple store. Can I use this discount to buy a Macbook in an Apple store? And also because the Apple education pricing states university students, will I still be able to use the discount? I've activated the discount and everything works fine online, but in a store would i be refused it because I am not university age? Thanks!

    I don't know about your particular store & location but in the UK I have used education discounts with purchases made in an Apple store. You need to prove you are eligible usually via a student ID etc. The store staff may let you login to the online store to see the price of the item for price matching, if there is a particular online Apple store for education - have your account details with you.
    You may find that the UniDays discount cannot be used with the student discount, its unclear to me if these are separate offers (check any small print or terms & conditions).

  • I need a clarification : Can I use EJBs instead of helper classes for better performance and less network traffic?

    My application was designed based on MVC Architecture. But I made some changes to HMV base on my requirements. Servlet invoke helper classes, helper class uses EJBs to communicate with the database. Jsps also uses EJBs to backtrack the results.
    I have two EJBs(Stateless), one Servlet, nearly 70 helperclasses, and nearly 800 jsps. Servlet acts as Controler and all database transactions done through EJBs only. Helper classes are having business logic. Based on the request relevant helper classed is invoked by the Servlet, and all database transactions are done through EJBs. Session scope is 'Page' only.
    Now I am planning to use EJBs(for business logic) instead on Helper Classes. But before going to do that I need some clarification regarding Network traffic and for better usage of Container resources.
    Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable
    1) to get better performance and.
    2) for less network traffic
    3) for better container resource utilization
    I thought if I use EJBs, then the network traffic will increase. Because every time it make a remote call to EJBs.
    Please give detailed explanation.
    thank you,
    sudheer

    <i>Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable :
    1) to get better performance</i>
    EJB's have quite a lot of overhead associated with them to support transactions and remoteability. A non-EJB helper class will almost always outperform an EJB. Often considerably. If you plan on making your 70 helper classes EJB's you should expect to see a dramatic decrease in maximum throughput.
    <i>2) for less network traffic</i>
    There should be no difference. Both architectures will probably make the exact same JDBC calls from the RDBMS's perspective. And since the EJB's and JSP's are co-located there won't be any other additional overhead there either. (You are co-locating your JSP's and EJB's, aren't you?)
    <i>3) for better container resource utilization</i>
    Again, the EJB version will consume a lot more container resources.

  • Skype use in education is it possible on free lice...

    Hi,
    I wonder if any one here would be able to help/advise me or point me to the correct person for support?
    I work in a FE College - we would like out learners to use skype to complete one of their modules - the module to complete is to connect to another learner in a two way communication voice and video.
    I am aware that Skype is free - but do we need to purchase a different version for use in a College? This is not being used to make business calls just for learners to demonstrate their ability to setup a communication channel.
    Please advise.
    I look forward to your reply.
    Kind regards,
    Chris Seaton.

    Hi Chris,
    If you just wish to make voice or video calls from one Skype account to another then you don't need to make any payments.
    You don't need a different version for using Skype in college.
    If you are using Skype for lessons then you might be interested in this: http://education.skype.com/
    If you need further info then you can send an email to [email protected]
