Very Very important as a modern day internet creator to have a firm grasp on copyright and (a new term for me) copyleft. It was interesting that the very day you (collectively) gave your presentation I had emailed an organization asking for the right to manipulate a document they developed for use in a project I am soon to be posting to the web. So to re-enforce the information you provided this is a relevant topic to us as teachers, students, academics, and moderns. Since most of us exist in the realm of education we sometimes feel as though we have a (does not apply) fee pass but as you learn more about copyright you find that yes we are granted some exclusive rights BUT by no means are we above the law. Knowing our bounds and also transmitting to our students how copyright applies to moderner day content should be part of our concern.

I remember I learned about Copyright laws in one of my previous TBTE courses, but I still felt “in the dark” about the topic. Terri and Peicheng did a great job of explaining what can and cannot be used in terms of copyright laws. Also, the table they put together on the back of their handout will be extremely helpful in the future as a quick reference guide.

For me copyright is like one those religious issues where we have two sides that are both equally confusing. I understand that copyright is meant to help artists and to encourage originality in work. The question here is how much protection should we give to those copyright owners like Micky Mouse as the art itself is now a culture. Children love mickey mouse and they want to use it in their creations. I feel that we should have the right to use these products/artifacts that are part of our culture. This also mean that we should prevent copyright holders such Disney from controlling our idols like mickey mouse which is now part of our culture.

As I was aware of copyright law at the beginning of the graduate program,I reharshed the law from class presentation once again except one thing, copy left. Copy left is still confusing to me. Here is an article I found about fog of copyleft

It is very interesting to think about the copyright issue under the Web2.0 background. In the Web2.0 digital world, people create contents using blogs and wikis. At the same time, most content authors need their posts to enter the public domain so that others can comment, remix and create. People who release the copyright to the public usually hope that someone else will find their works useful. However, widespread abuse of content will make owners reluctant to release content under copyright licenses.
For instance, there are many aggregator Web sites that collect content from a variety of sources (including personal blogs and wikis) around which they can serve contextual ads. There is no clear regulation to explain whether the RSS syndication is a threat to copyrights. But, as a blogger, how to find out if someone has stolen his/her content? Here is an interesting discussion on WordPress.

I found your presentation to be very informative. I had never had any teaching about copyright and it was very interesting to find out what you can and can not use in a classroom and how much of something you can use. It the present climate of Web 2.0 it is very easy to daily break copyright laws. I think this idea of “copyleft” could be a break though for copyright and fair use.

I thought your presentation was very informative and interesting. I remember doing a copy right project for one of my grad classes with Dr. Bishop but besides that I did not know very much about it. I am surprised that a class in college does not touch on this topic. I did not know about copy left, which sounds very interesting and something that I will need to learn more about online. I personally think it is a great idea and nice that people want to share their work with others.
