Week 1 Comment - Cheryl's post

Cheryl,
I must say, I am one to continuously ask about copyright because I always get too engulfed in the project, and forget what I'm allowed to do. When I taught the Research class, I took my students over to our librarian every marking period for a refresher on copyright so that they understand what they can and can't do in our projects. Funny enough, we used the Disney video as well at the school I taught at!

Week 1 - Reading

This weeks reading assignment was very much on target for me.  I am in the library, and am asked copyright questions all the time.  This was very helpful.  I was amazed at the fact that copyright lasts a lifetime plus 70 years! WOW! That is one long time! It is a good thing that someone came up with fair use! Teachers would be in so much trouble if fair use was not around! Another thing that I thought was that those rappers with all the profanity and sexual innuendos throughout their music should be glad that someone would even consider using any of it.  I won't even subject myself to listening to that in the first place, let alone "borrowing" any of it! I am really behind in the times, as I have never heard of Danger Mouse and the album "Grey". I also did not realize that Nigeria was so involved in the music industry.  I really liked the "Fairy Tale" using the Disney characters! That was my favorite part.
