FAQs on copyright for consumers
The Frequently Asked Questions on copyright help inform all European consumers about what is legal and what is not when using copyright protected content, such as music or film, on the internet.

E.g. get answers to questions such as: “Am I allowed to use music protected by copyright as a soundtrack for a home video that I made and want to upload on a video platform?” or “Am I infringing copyright if I watch a movie by streaming it instead of downloading it from the internet?”.

FAQs on copyright for teachers
The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on copyright for teachers helps teachers and students in the EU to find information on using copyright protected content in the context of education and training, particularly online. It also informs teachers and students on the opportunities copyright protection can have for them as potential creators of works within the context of education.

E.g. get answers to questions such as: “Can teachers take photocopies or scan pages from books or newspapers for their students?” or “Under which conditions can teachers display movies in class or at school in general?”.
