I was very happy to hear of this acceptance of transformative use. Otherwise, I am fairly liberal about access, embedding and using other's information in my educational work. <BR/><BR/>At the end of the 20th century, a very helpful, interesting technology show, called Screen Savers was the capstone show produced by TechTV, the technology network owned by Paul Allen. Leo Laporte was the main host of this show. Leo often interviewed Lawrence Lessig, one of the founders of the Creative Commons system of copyright, who would explain issues related to copyright use and misuse in the USA.<BR/><BR/>Since Lessig wrote several books on this matter, I won't go into more detail. I have written about issues related to another thread in this conversation started by Jenny Luca: <BR/><A HREF="http://samccoy-n2teaching.blogspot.com/2008/05/youtube-copyright-and-lucacept.html" REL="nofollow">n2teaching: YouTube, Copyright and Lucacept</A>samccoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820641673301360531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24316273.post-30490306727147358752008-04-22T10:56:00.000-04:002008-04-22T10:56:00.000-04:00I came here after reading your Tweet about student...I came here after reading your Tweet about students talking copyright (http://kushnerkorner.wikispaces.com/Virtual_Zoo). I was glad to see the students were able to use Flickr to search CC-licensed photos and were responding to the criticism received about their use of copyrighted photos... <BR/>Just gave a talk on CC to a group of school librarians and one mentioned that they preferred things to be very "black and white" re: fair use. I think we'd all like that but there's more gray out there than we realize - thought provoking post!edhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816086535519392426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24316273.post-33256049554298801112008-04-12T17:35:00.000-04:002008-04-12T17:35:00.000-04:00We are in uncharted waters.

One thing I make sure teachers know is that "fair use" is a defense, not some sort of protection. <BR/>http://techtwoteach.blogspot.comMike Uleauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166561887788498472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24316273.post-31384069414067681962008-04-02T19:22:00.000-04:002008-04-02T19:22:00.000-04:00Nice gnashing of the subject here, Kristin, and SO...Nice gnashing of the subject here, Kristin, and SO glad you are talking about it. I hope we can come to an intelligent consensus by next years' PA Computer Fairs so we can better educate our students (and ourselves) on the matters at hand.<BR/><BR/>Fair Use is all about the pursuit of knowledge and education - we need to get this thing pinned-down a bit better so we all understand.<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24316273.post-59521837619075900882008-04-02T08:10:00.000-04:002008-04-02T08:10:00.000-04:00Kristin,Thanks for posting this and alerting us to...Kristin,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this and alerting us to potential mis-education in the realm of fair use. I took a School Law course in 2007 and my professor had us follow some pretty particular guidelines related to fair use. I'll be interested to follow this as you find more.Chris Championhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520800289748179273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24316273.post-33821335679827386502008-04-02T08:04:00.000-04:002008-04-02T08:04:00.000-04:00A well-thought out post on a topic that we all nee...A well-thought out post on a topic that we all need to know more about. I, too, do presentations a bit, and when I teach about fair-use, I usually tell them that, in terms of music, if the school owns it and the music is going to be used for a classroom project, then they are protected. This isn't that far off from what the webinar said, I think.<BR/><BR/>And, doesn't this make sense? In a world of mash-ups, we need to be showing the kids transformative ways of using materials anyway. And, if DJ Earworm (http://www.djearworm.com) and others are protected under copyrights, then why not educators?<BR/><BR/>The one thing that I am concerned about is this notion of creating something for a 'new audience'. If I am using something - like an image from the Simpsons, let's say - I don't know that my high school classroom would be a new target audience. On the contrary, shows like that are targeted towards the students in my class. <BR/><BR/>I would be interested to see how this plays out. Creating a mash-up is transformative, but what about playing music as the kids walk into the classroom? That has the power to transform and lead to higher-level thinking, too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Kristin. An interesting post that I will be thinking about for the rest of the day. :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125900924922439477noreply@blogger.com
