Copyright Submission

The first scenario I chose is the classroom of rowdy monsters who will create Power Point presentations using graphics

from the Internet.  I have concluded that they are permitted to use Internet graphics for educational use in that class.

They must, however, give credit to the sources, display a copyright notice and provide copyright ownership information.

In other words, they will list the source, author, title, publication place, date, year and copyright holder of the graphics

they copied.  One of their opening screens or slides will mention that certain materials are included under the fair use

exemptions of the U.S. copyright law and have been prepared according to the multimedia

guidelines.  Those graphics will be restricted from further use.The student may not retain more than two copies of

the project, one for him/herself, and one for the teacher/media center.The student is limited to no more than five photos

done by one person and no more than fifteen images from a single work.


 

The second scenario I chose is Mr. Jamweimer, the parent of one of the most intellectual students in the school, who

purchased a software program and now wants to give a copy to the school.  His little Einstein should inform him that it

would be a definite no-no to make a copy which would be disbursed and used by an entire school.  The school may

choose to purchase a site license and then may legally use the software.  Most, if not all, software comes with a very

specific copyright agreement which the purchaser must accept before running the program.  One backup copy is

generally allowed for personal safeguarding in case the original goes bad.
