Why it’s essential to report the content you use


It’s important that you report any content you reproduce so Copibec can distribute royalties to the authors and publishers whose works have been used by universities. When you report your use, Copibec is able to identify which publications were used and how much was reproduced.

What do you have to report?

You need to inform Copibec about all photocopied or scanned excerpts from publications:

  • Used in a coursepack
  • Uploaded to a learning management system
  • Sent via email
  • Inserted into a PowerPoint presentation
  • Displayed on a smartboard
  • Shared via a link leading to a digital format reproduction
