Copyright and Fair Use QR

1) I thought that this question is very true and that the teacher is allowed to make a back up copy so that way in case something happens she will be prepared to teach. I believe that it is a very good idea!

2) I believe that the tech was in the wrong because we are not able to make copies of Cd's and share them with friends. This is the same idea and I don't think the tech should be allowed to do so even only one person can use it at a time.

5) The teacher was in the wrong and this question relates to my reaction to question 1 in that you can't mass copy Cd's for several people. That is not fair to the software company and he should be punished.

6) This teacher downloaded info from the web for her classroom and I feel that it is fair for her to do so because the web is there for research. I personally don't believe that a teacher would not copy someones work and not sight it!

7) This question is very true and my reaction is that I know several schools that do this and get away with it so I feel that it is OK. I don't believe that the state or country would allow this if it wasn't OK and safe to do!

9) All of the mp3.com files are already paid for so it is fair and up for grabs for anyone that wants to visit and use mp3.com. I doubted this question at first, but when I found out the answer it seemed logical and I believe in the answer.

10) A teacher copies and puts clip art on a school web site. I am surprised that you can't do this and I think that it is very unfair to do. I don't care if it gets re-posted or if it only gets used in class. There shouldn't be different rules for this. They should all be the same!

13) This question deals with the sharing of a web page created by kids and being posted on the web. I am mad at the fact that they say that it is fair to use other people's work. I believe that you should have to ask for permission, but if the site allows you do use it then I guess it is fair. If it is copyrighted and you take it, then that would be wrong to do.
