Copyright and Fair Use QR

Comment on #1: I am glad to see that schools can make copies of the materials however I was kind of mad because it doesn't tell you what "unreasonably priced" material is. This leaves alot of room for error in my opinion

Comment on #2: I really don't see why everybody can't use the same software at the same time. The law is so does not make any sense.

Comment on # 6: I am glad to see we are allowed to "download away" however I'm a little angry that it can't go back up on the web without copyright permission. It's not like we are trying to make money off the stuff.

Comment on #7: I don't really think we should post students work without the permission of the student. If someone did hack into the site then all of a sudden it is not so protected anymore. Plus if the studnet was a musician he would complain that people actaully wanted to listen to his work without paying for the download.

Comment on #9: Do teachers have to pay for the downloads on mP3.com or are they free. i don't see why we can't download anyway

Comment on #11: This one is just funny. I'd like to do that in this class or something similar to it. I also think its a great way to draw the interest of students

Comment on #16: I agree with the author of this site on the fact that I would buy a machine to get rid of technology blocks for students to use...but I would probably use it at home.

Comment on #19: Nobody really wants a DVD yearbook anyway so I guess its not a big deal to me or anybody else. I hate copyright restrictions and Fair use agreements
