“The arguments and opinions regarding copyright issues could go on forever. During his presentation at the TED conference, Larry Lessig painted a clear picture how parties on both sides of the “fair use” issue are not willing to compromise their stances. In the meantime, our future, our children who are digital natives, have turned to piracy to create media and art by getting content off of the Internet. I understand the need for copyright laws and agree that the artists and owners should be compensated for their work. However, when it comes to educating students, it’s a shame that the laws can’t be more forgiving seeing how instructors are making no profit from utilizing the content. Students could be exposed to the new ideas and content that could help popularize the given content.”
@ Sara
I truly agree with you about the laws being a little more lenient when it comes to education. They are too complicated and there are too many to remember. Children don’t mean any harm. Let me change that to most. (LOL) There are so many things we as teachers can do with what’s out there. Sometimes students need a starting point, something to spark their interest.
