Do you feel that the limitations put on fair use are actually fair? Discuss what you think about the limitations and if you believe that they will actually limit the amount of media that teachers can get?
I think that the limitations are fair, however a little too strict at times. It is very hard to follow these guidelines sometimes, and you have to cut edges to make sure your presentation ect. turns out to be the way you want it to be.
I think that the limitations are fair, but they are tedious to work with when you want to incorporate things into multimedia projects. My high school teachers used a lot of media, and I know they were very strict about the amount of media they showed.
I feel that the the limitations are fair but they can be a little harsh too. Sometimes people don't even know that they're doing something illegal and they get in trouble for it. People should be more careful and check copyrights before they download or use any information they are unsure about!
I do think that copyright laws are fair because there has to be some kind of protection for the owner/creator of the material. The laws are very specific and can be confusing to follow and hard to remember when working on a project.
I don't think that these limitations are fair. At least for the music ones. 30 seconds does give you enough time to get the full effect of most songs. Think about these protest songs, most of them have a much deeper meaning, and the students would benefit more by hearing the more of the song in a presentation. I feel that as long as you site the song, and make it clear that it is not your work you should be able to use as long of the song as you want. Also going along with books, poems, and pictures. I feel that as long as you obtain the material legally and aren't trying to sell or pass off the material as your own you should be able to use as much as you need. By putting a limit on this amount or time you can use, also in a way puts a limit on how in depth you can go when talking about the topic.
I looked over the Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines for Teachers the group passed out, and found them to be ridiculously specific! I feel that these limitations are in fact limiting the education of students to some degrees. Take for instance, a class is studying the work of a particular artist. According to the guidelines, legally, the teacher can print "no more than five images by a single artist." How can students study the development, as well as compare or contrast the works of an artist if they only have five works to look at?
i think the limitations are fair but sometimes taken to the extreme. for example lengths of songs... come on... i think that if things are purchased legally..or used in the right context that it should be put to use.
I do not feel that the Copyright Laws are practical! I agree with the idea of having a class to inform students about the application of copyrighted work. Honestly before conducting this technology spotlight presentation, I had no idea that the laws were so specific. I too feel that the regulations in regards to 30 seconds of music will effect the true message behind our Protest Song Video. Also thank you for contributing to our blog!
Fair or unfair, copyright and fair use acts are something that we as educators are going to have to accept as our practice. These expectations can and will be unreasonable at times but that is what goes. For some reason we have these boundaries, we may not know or understand why but there is always a underlying reason as to why; it is our job however to investigate and question these practices to become a more informed society.
The limitations are a necessity because if not, things could really get out of hand with fraud and claiming that work is yours when it's not. However, I think they're taking too many precautions to prevent this. A teacher should be able to use what she wants when presenting something to the class because depending on how old the children are, they're not going to care whose work it is. There should be exceptions for some of the copyright laws, but it's good that we have them.
I think that the limitations are fair, but that they may be a little strict. Thirty seconds isn't a lot to work with and could hinder your presentation.
I agree with bridgett because a lot of people break copyright laws without knowing that they are. People need to be more careful, since the laws are so strict.
I can understand that people want to be recognized for their work, but a lot of people don't realize that they are actually stealing other peoples work in the process. I feel like a lot of people are unaware of breaking the copyright rules and fair use. I think there are a lot of people out there that disobey this rule, and I am kinda curious to how anyone would be punished?
