Learning about Copyright
Today in class we individually read articles and watched short video clips on copyright laws, issues, and ways to negotiate this issue appropriately. This information was very helpful to me. Copyright laws have seemed so confusing and ambiguous to me and although it IS a gray area, it helps to research it. After going through the links on blackboard, I started going through the case studies with a few students, comparing opinions and insights. I quickly found out that even though I'd just listened and read a lot of information regarding copyright laws, it was still difficult because of how many different scenarios there can be. But, it's very important that we're aware of these issues and are careful as we use others' material because there are punishments for copyright infringement, such as being sued.

I felt the same way. I do believe it is probably easiest to have a situation and then research it. I felt it was hard to really remember all the specifics after reading and listening to all the sites. But if you have a specific situation already, you can look for that specific part of the copyright laws.
