A journal article I wrote has been included in an educational resource. What are my rights?
13/05/2009

Under the Copyright Act, educational institutions are entitled to copy certain material, including journal articles, for educational purposes. The institution must be covered by a "remuneration notice" (an undertaking to pay copyright fees). The fees are paid to Copyright Agency Limited (CAL), which distributes them to the rights owners. CAL’s information about which material has been used comes from a statistical sample of use rather than from records of each and every use.
