The rapid move to online teaching in response to COVID-19 is raising both copyright and privacy questions. Please review this FAQ for answers to some of the most common questions.
Copyright and intellectual property issues are a part of the fabric of research and scholarly communications, and thus all Stanford faculty, students and staff need a working understanding of copyright law as it impacts their daily lives.

The Copyright Reminder has three sections:
Common situations looks at copyright issues arising in a variety of common campus situations, and recommends appropriate actions
