💡 It can indeed be frustrating when you come to know that your expression of idea has been misappropriated by an individual, body or entity. However, before commencing a legal action it is important to note the exception that does not qualify as copyright infringement. There are three major exceptions to the copyright law that are commonly used by educators: fair use, face-to-face instruction, and virtual instruction.

©️ Exceptions allow for the use of a work without requesting permission from the copyright holder and potentially paying fees. Hence, it is important to note the manner in which your copyright is used before sending a cease and desist letter or notice of demand.
