Agenda August 23 - Copyright Law and the Internet

In a word document, answer the following questions in a few sentences each to begin class:
1. What does Copyright Law mean to you?
2. What does it mean in relation to the Internet?
Save these answers because we will include these answers in a future blog post.
The Copyright Law presentation that I shared with your Google Account is what I will use in class today. You can print it before class as handouts if you would like and take notes on the slides, or just take some notes on paper. You'll have to download the presentation (under the "File" menu) if you want print it as handouts in PowerPoint.
At the end of class, with a partner, create a scenario depicting a questionable use of a copyrighted work. Write it on scrap paper or I'll give you scrap paper. It can be something that happened to you, or something you make up. But be specific. It should not be black and white, but have grey areas in terms of whether you can use the work. Write your best guess as to what the legal answer would be on a separate sheet of scrap paper. We will use these next class.
