CopyRIGHT or CopyWRONG!
"Copyright is an issue that everyone has a problem with and many do not understand. After reviewing all three copyright issues, they are very complex and confusing for the people, which makes people do the copying without taking in consideration that they are violating the copyright laws.If anyone is interested in reading the copyright law document, here is the link:http://www.copyright.gov/title17/circ92.pdf If people would read the article, there would be more confusion on the subject because of the complexity of it. On a video it states copyright isn’t about use, but about asking permission, that is the key to the whole copyright issue. It basically means use it in whatever you like, but make sure you have consent when you use it. As a teacher, I will have to say that I have probably have broken some copyright laws, but I most likely did this for educational purposes. The school librarian has trained us on some of this copyright laws and making sure we use what is permitted and to give credit when needed."
Ana,
I too as a teacher have
broken probably more copyright laws than I would like to admit. I honestly did
not know how extensive and confusing these laws really are and since it was for
educational purposes I overlooked using copyrighted material. This topic has
really opened my eyes to what I use and take from the web and that I need to be
aware of what I am using.
