Colby has a total of 28 convenience copiers located in buildings across campus.  Most require a card for access which is debited at .10 per copy.  Please limit the number of copies per original to 100.  Jobs requiring more than 100 copies per original should be directed to Campus Services in Eustis.  Users are expected to abide by federal copyright laws.

Copy - Once you become the legal user of copyrighted material (by purchasing a DVD, CD etc.), the material is yours to use and enjoy within the guidelines of the copyright. The guidelines of the copyright, however, are extremely restrictive. It is generally accepted that the user should be allowed to make one copy or backup solely for her/his own use, or in Colby's case, for instructional purposes. There is never permission to make more than one copy. This one (and only one) piece made for individual use is what industry insiders call a copy.
Pirates - If you choose to make more than one copy of copyrighted material, you have violated the copyright, and therefore, the law. Whether you are making one or two copies to give to students, or 50 copies to sell at a flea market, it is illegal. When you make multiple unauthorized copies of copyrighted material for any reason whatsoever, you are in violation of the law. These multiple illegal copies are what industry insiders refer to as pirates or pirate copies.
Counterfeit - This is by far the most damaging and illegal transgression. While most of us have knowingly or unknowingly made a pirated copy, no one has ever accidentally made a counterfeit. As with counterfeit money, serious prison time is a possibility. It is no less an illegal activity to counterfeit copyrighted data, music, movies, etc. as it is to counterfeit money.  The term counterfeit refers to the exact duplication of an item: exact down to the cover artwork, titles printed on the DVD, etc.  These duplicates aren't made by accident. They are made to deceive the public into thinking they are buying an original product.
Bootleg - This term is brandished about freely to refer to a wide array of activities.  The area that concerns us is the copyright of intellectual property.  Once an original work is completed, it is automatically copyrighted. (Contrary to popular belief, Copyright Office Registration is not the copyright but merely the registration of something that is already automatically copyrighted). The fact that the writer put it to paper or recorded to tape gives him/her an immediate copyright, which gives the owner the right to profit from any commercial use of it.
     A bootleg CD or DVD is one that has been created completely from material (songs, spoken word, etc.) that is not commercially available. The material might be from an interview, radio broadcast, recording from a live concert, foreign source, etc. The bootlegger uses this material to create a new product to be distributed.  For the most part, we are talking about recordings that would never see the light of day any other way.  Regardless, the production of multiple copies or even one compiled production used for commercial purposes (non-instructional) is illegal.
