Copyright and Fair Use SR

1) Question 5: It is nice to know that it is only ok to use copies the school owns, not ones I have copied. I don’t think I would do this and it makes sense why I can only use what the school owns, even if my copies say or have the same information.

2) Question 3: This is good to know. I think I may be using updates for many years to come. I wonder if it is ok to download updates from the official website if they were available?

3) Question 14: I don’t think this law is fair. If the Disney movie has already been bought and paid for that you should technically “own” the right to watch it. I kinda understand showing it to a large group, how the movie industry doesn’t get money if we showed the movie to everyone we knew. I am curious of where the cut off is, as a limit for how many people can legally watch 1 movie. Is a large family of 20, or a kids sleepover aloud to watch a movie and be protected?

4) Question 15: So I am confused, we can use videos, but not movie clips? I just using 1 movie clip ok?

5) Question 16: BUT WAIT! I thought we couldn’t use movie clips as Question 15 states? What is the difference if we are making our from peoples DVD’s or getting some from the internet??

6) Question 19: This rule still confuses me. Once again, I feel that if I have bought and paid for a music DVD or CD then I can play it where I want. I can play a CD at my house to loads of friends, why can’t I still in a school setting, especially if it relates to what we are learning about.

7) Question 13: I was really glad that I answered this one right. I feel that this is part of teaching and learning. Since there was permission given by the survivor, this videotape can be used in any school classroom for learning.

8) Question 20: I agree with this statement. It is one thing to use multimedia videos and software for projects, but it is NOT ok to sell them to the public or anyone. That is the producer’s job and right, they put the time in to make the product, they should get the money.
