What is Copy Right?
After reviewing the article and video posted in regards to copyright I have strengthened my understanding in regards to copy right regulations and limitations. When an individual gives their consent for their work to be copy righted they are allowing others the permission to attain copies, modify or distribute copies of their original piece. When an individual gives their consent copy right laws are put forth to ensure that an authors original piece is properly recognized and credited so that others are not claiming work as their own. Although an individual may have access to work that is not their own, copy right laws state that it is dishonest and illegal to call another individuals work your own, it is a form of stealing which could result in numerous punishments. As an educator I believe the most important piece of information you can share with your students is that although a piece of work may available to the public sphere it is dishonest to call it your own. Students have the right to be informed of the information available to them however it is their responsibility to understand the consequences which can come from their actions. Copy right regulations is definitely an important issue, especially in today's digital world, therefore it is essential that as an educator we discuss and educate students.
