Thing #23 ... I never thought it could be...

Copyright law is just a sticky mess reguardless if you have studied it for three years or three decades. The person who created “A Fair(y) Use Tale” is most definitely an evil genius. I can see the legal types at Disney fuming at each clip being splashed out to the world with no pennies coming in. Having said that it is incredibly important for us to be aware of license issues and copyright in the classroom. It is really easy to open the web and swipe something off the pages that we find interesting but we rarely ask ourselves if we SHOULD be able to take those things. This thing was a great reminder of what we can share and what really is off limits. I am including a link to a copyrighted photo on Flickr. This image an interesting vortex of matresses. It does include the copyright symbol and other license information.
