Copyright Resources and Somes Examples of Consequences

At Techapalooza 2011  Joyce Mason presented a session called Copyright not Copywrong.  In this post, I am going to share some of the information and resources she shared with the group here. 

Since copyright law is very confusing, it seems to be one of the hardest things to teach students and adults.  Here is a video from the Copyright Clearance Center that I think does an excellent job of explaining copyright.

Look at this data (embedded below) from http://www.carolsimpson.com/copyright/copyright_action_data_results.htm and notice who reported some of the cases. Think twice before you use something in your classroom.



Here are some other copyright resources I just learned about today.
