eBooks● There is no special eBook Copyright Law or Amendment
● Often governed by License Agreements

(Griffin, 2018)
Video
● No current lawsuits for adding captioning to a video
● National Association of the Deaf sued Harvard & MIT “for failure to caption all educational videos”
● Ideally get permission, or purchase a copy already captioned
● “Strongest defense for video captioning is fair use.”
