Various training institutions and lecturers prepare courses, which are customarily downloaded from the internet, handwritten materials, knowledge points and are then slightly modified for direct use in courses and sales。
Many teachers and institutions believe that publicly available learning material on the internet is readily available. But true jurisprudence beats the face: online content, lectures and materials are copyrighted and commercial instruction is a violation。
Review of the situation: institutions misappropriated web-based content, offering a substantial amount of profit
In a field where educational creators have long-term, deep farming specializations, the original set of professional training packages, handouts, knowledge point combing ppts have been prepared and published on the platform with a clear label of “commercially prohibited, personal only” and copyright certificates completed。
In a local vocational skills training institution, the package was found to be of good quality and logical, and in order to save time and research and development costs, the entire package was downloaded directly without the author's authorization, and only the cover and header were modified as part of an institution's exclusive teaching package, which was used in the lower and paid courses。
On the basis of this high-quality package, the institute offers a number of fee-paying training courses, charging high tuition fees to its participants, which are set up on a cumulative basis for dozens of productive sessions, but never pays the original creator any royalties。
After monitoring the violation, the author takes full evidence of the pages of the institutional curriculum, the content of the course, the records of the enrolment campaign and initiates a copyright infringement action in court。
Result: classes for commercial infringement established, compensation of 48,000
The court found that the teaching, teaching and compilation were original and protected by copyright law. The use by training institutions of original content by others for commercial purposes, for fee-based training, is a typical commercial violation, disregarding the author's statement that he is prohibited from doing business, and a manifest subjective fault。
Final decision:
It's for training institutions and lecturers
1. Free internet content = personal studies only, commercial instruction in institutions is prohibited
2. To modify the cover and fine-tune the content without altering the nature of the violation
3. Instructions in institutions, fee-paying courses and courses for use in training camps must be owned or officially authorized。
