Copyright is created when the original author or creator wants to protect whatever they have created. Copyright can apply to published and unpublished items, and makes others ask permission from the original author to use their work.
What are some of the issues around copyright for teachers? Students?
Since teachers use many resources, and often have to copy their workbooks, they face a copyright issue on a regular basis. Teachers need to be a good example of how to treat others' work in an ethical way. Through their actions, they need to teach their students about protected property. This is going to be hard since almost everything is copyrighted. If the teacher or students takes anything offline, they need to site their source. When pictures are used on a regular basis, this often becomes hard to follow.
What is Fair Use?
Fair use allows others to use copyrighted material when a profit will not be made. In order to determine fair use, certain guidelines exist. The amount of the product that can be reproduced is limited, and the "nature of the copyrighted work" is considered (US Copyright Office).
What more do you want to learn?
I have heard that Paris Hilton tried to copyright "that's hot" but was unsuccessful. I would like to know what guidelines they have set up to determine what can and cannot be copyrighted. I would also like to learn more about how often copyright infringement is actually caught and punished.
