YC Copyright Clearance Provider

The college has a copyright clearance provider for determining if licensing is necessary for course materials. If you do not have permission or cannot determine to your satisfaction whether your use of material is a fair use under the law, Premium Source Publishing will attempt to find out and/or obtain permission to use that material. Such permission may or may not involve a payment to the copyright holder.
