According to the Fair Use provision in the 1976 Copyright Act, how much of a work can educators copy for each student?

The Fair Use provision allows educators to copy a limited portion of a work for educational purposes under specific conditions. In the context of the 1976 Copyright Act, the guideline for copying from a work like a book is up to 10% for each student. This is designed to allow teachers to utilize materials in a way that supports learning without infringing on copyright laws.

In practice, this means that educators can use excerpts from various works to enhance their curriculum and facilitate the educational process while still adhering to legal standards. The 10% rule is a widely recognized benchmark that ensures a balance between the rights of copyright holders and the interests of educators and students.
