Copyright and Fair Use (SR)

1. This makes sense, as long as the the copies are not being shared with other people, be they students or fellow teachers.

2. I thought that the answer to this question was false because I was thinking that more than one person was using the software at once, so it was definitely a violation. It turns that as long as one copy isn't being used at the same time as the other, you are ok. I guess it's right because it is only on one server. A tricky question!

9. It seems logical that a teacher can use music if he/she downloaded it from MP3.com and put it into a project. They obviously paid for the music and it was totally legal. The only problem might be that a student would try to take the music for his/her own purposes, and then it might get sticky.

10. It seems odd to be allowed to get clip art and music from a file-sharing site, but not be able to post it on the web for other students and teachers to read. To me, it's all kind of the same, the other teachers will read it anyway, I don't think it's that big of a deal where exactly that person happens to find it.

12. I thought for sure this would be a violation because when I was in high school, my teachers might have taped something off the television, they would always say, "shhh!" don't tell anyone, and the sincerely thought that what they were doing was bad. I wonder why they thought that is was illegal?

13. I was surprised to find that using another person's interview that was put on the web was entirely illegal. I thought that since the person who downloaded it didn't have the permission of the person who was being interviewed or the student, it would a violation. But, I guess that it works both ways: your own information can be used and you can use other peoples'.

15. I have never heard that it was illegal to compile videos. I figured since you already owned the videos and were just showing them in class, it wouldn't be a big deal. I wonder why? Maybe because only a part of a movie won't show the real idea or might be misleading?

16. I thought this was very interesting because I immediatly figured that it would be totally illegal to defeat the copyright protection of DVDs, CD-ROMs, etc. It turns out that the machines are no longer being made, instead! This would be a useful tool for a teacher and finding neat movies/information on the internet.

20. I thought that it would be no problem to make copies of the DVD and sell them for the school to make money, after all, it was all pictures of the school and students from the school, what's the big deal? I guess the 'wider distribution' part got them!
