On March 2020, 3, seven former imperial universities such as the University of Tokyo and Kyushu University and the National Institute of Informatics announced to the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the Association for Management of Public Transmission Compensation for Class Purposes that the public transmission compensation system for class purposes was early. I submitted a request for enforcement.An increasing number of universities are switching from face-to-face classes to online classes in order to prevent new coronavirus infections, but because it is necessary to obtain permission for copyrighted works to conduct online classes, the enforcement date of the new system will be set immediately. We are calling for preparations for the enactment of a government ordinance.

 According to Kyushu University and others, the copyright of photographs and texts used in classes as teaching materials for school education can be freely used without the permission of the copyright holder, but it can be copied as printed matter or used via the Internet. If you do, you must obtain individual permission.

 Under the revised copyright law enacted in May 2018, a new system will be introduced in which school corporations, which are the founders of schools, pay compensation to designated management organizations and the organizations distribute funds to copyright holders. became.Purpose of class The Agency for Cultural Affairs has designated the Public Transmission Compensation Management Association as a management organization, but it takes time to adjust the interests of users and right holders, and the enforcement date of the new system has not been set.

 The Agency for Cultural Affairs and others are requesting copyright management companies to give special consideration to the use of copyrighted works as an emergency evacuation measure, but Kyushu University and others will be able to use them by regular procedures by the end of April. I want you to do it.
