This is a subject I explore every year with the students. I clicked over and started taking a look at the comic. It looks very thorough. I’ll have to see how it can be used. I’m also going to check out the podcast Matthew pointed to. Anything that adds to making a dry subject more palatable is great. The student’s really can’t leave my class without this information.

Great resource, Kevin! Thanks for posting it. It’s perfect for my 8th grade computer class.

Thanks for the link to the book. You might be interested in “Barely Legal Radio” which is a show that’s 80% about copyrights and 20% entertainment law. It’s on the radio in L.A. but it’s available as a podcast. Particularly if a person is in a band you might find the information applicable/interesting. The host is really funny too so it’s not a boring show in any case. http://www.barelylegalradio.com and you can listen there. B

Thanks for stopping by, Ed.
This issue is a tricky one, I think, and bound to get trickier as tech makes creation and mashing up so much easier.

hey great blog, first time reader. I couldn’t agree more about copyright law. I’m no expert but I’ve spent hours and hours researching the subject so I know exactly what I can and cannot post or use in my own work. Many people don’t do this though… at all, make me wonder how many places my work might be right now? Only joking, I wish my work was good enough for people to steal.
