A teacher in your school (who has a really rowdy bunch of monsters) makes an agreement with them that they learn how to make power point presentations on sports, war, hunting, rock music and such. She lets them get graphics from anywhere on the Internet. Sites such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN. DOD, Rock Music Hall of Fame. They make great presentations and become great kids. What are the copyright implications??

The students are allowed to use graphics from these sites because it is part of the teacher’s class requirements. However, if the students are beyond the 6^th grade, they do have to adhere to a few more regulations. The students have to give credit to the sources, just like paper materials get their credit. Also, they have to state that materials are provided under the Copyright Acts. Third, the students are not allowed to have their own copy of the projects. Finally, each student may only have 5 photographs and up to 15 images from a single published work included in their project.

You find an outstanding World Wide Web site on the Internet and want your web page to contain some of the glittering wonderfulness of this site. You can down load and use what part of the web page without infringing on copyright.

I am able to down load parts of this page and include it on my own page. However, I must give credit to the source and I must provide information in regards to the information downloaded is allowed under the Fair Copyright Acts. In general, I can download up to 10 percent of the site but more specifically depends on what I download. For example if it is text, 10 percent of the web page but no more than 1000 words. The most important thing is giving credit to where it is due.
