  • 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 web can be used to acquire resources.  The students can download as many pictures and graphics as they want for their PowerPoint presentations.  However, it is illegal for the projects to be published back to the Web without permission from the copyright holders. 

 

  • You create a web link to the CBS - David Letterman Web page, the Right to Life and the Right to Choice web pages on your school's home page. Your principal instructs you to remove them from the schools links.

Web links are not copyrighted; therefore no law was violated in this case.  The only time linking to websites would violate a copyright law is if the link was created to misrepresent the author.
