IWU Copyright Policies and Practices

University Policy: Illinois Wesleyan University expects individuals affiliated with the University to uphold copyright laws ensuring the protection of intellectual property, giving authors due credit, and demonstrating responsible citizenship.

Illinois Wesleyan University advocates that individuals creating content proactively review publisher right's agreements before signing and retain authority over the intellectual property.

Illinois Wesleyan University encourages individuals to be familiar with the application of the four factors comprising Fair Use.

While Illinois Wesleyan University copyright policies and practices are as described here, final judgment rests with each individual.  Support and help is available from the University Copyright Officer.

Unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, including unauthorized peer-to-peer sharing, may subject you to civil and criminal liabilities.  The Copyright Act provides stiff penalties for infringing copyrighted works. Under appropriate circumstances, penalties can include monetary damages, all profits earned by the infringer from the unauthorized use of the copyrighted work and attorney’s fees. A court can also order the destruction of all infringing copies.
