This evening I presented a piece on Copyright for Teacher Librarians taking their Part 1 AQ. The topic always causes a lot of buzz because the laws are not very clear; especially in the digital world.
I always recommend Creative Commons as a place to support the legal use of images and media. It's also a great place for students to learn how to license their own creations and determine how much they are willing to share.
Yesterday, a news story came out on how the US Senate is considering passing a bill on charging people if they post lip-synced films up on YouTube. Check out the story here - and just think, if this passes in the US, will it happen here as well?
Stay tuned!
