Can I print out chapters out of a textbook without violating copyright?
Answer
Most print copying situations are covered in the Fair Dealing policy.
You cannot copy:
- Systematic cumulative copying is prohibited. For example: you cannot copy 10% of a publication one day, 10% the next, and so on.
- Unpublished works
- Consumable items such as published workbooks, assignment sheets, and tests
- Crown or provincial publications (excluding Quebec)
- Instruction manuals, including teachers' guides
- Sheet music and original artistic works including photographs or prints
- Works with notices excluding them from copying under a collective license
