Copyright protects material regardless of whether the owner cares or notUnsuccessful attempts for permission do not eliminates liability for infringement

The institution is likely to be liable, along with an accused individual, for the infringements of faculty, students and staff, most institutions advise such individuals not to use works for which required permission cannot be obtained. But many institutions are beginning to look at this reaction more carefully, and may determine that at times there are important considerations favoring limited nonprofit educational use of materials that would counterbalance

the risk of harm to someone's legal rights.
