This week we learned about copyright laws, such as, creative commons, fair use, public domain, and copyright. We learned that if you violate copyright laws, you can be put in federal prison. I thought that you just got a fine or had to go to court.
Luckily there are certain places you can get materials from that are legal to use. Public domain is an example, there are also Creative Commons sites that allow you to use certain materials for free.
We also learned how to keep form breaking copyright. If it is Creative Commons, you have cite it or give credit, but if it is Public Domain, you can use it for free. Some times you do have to pay to use a photo, if you do not, you could go to federal prison. You also cannot use another persons idea to make money.
One day in class we watched a couple of videos that help explain copyright, creative commons, public domain, and fair use. I enjoyed the first video and learned more about what copyright really is.
The second one was not as interesting or information, I did learn something from it, but not as much as the first one. The video we watched first was easier to pay attention to. It wasn't like many video you watch it class, boring, dull, narrated by the most monotone voice in the world. It used engaging pictures, interesting sounds and music, and the narrator was not the least bit boring.
The second video had no sound, but colorful pictures. It was short, which made it satisfactory to its content. It was more about how to avoid breaking the copyright rules and regulations. The first one told about how copyright came to be, why it is important, and somewhat on who it affects.
In class we did an activity to test our knowledge of copyright laws. You had to pick which photograph would work best for a commercial convincing people to be vegetarians. One of them we couldn't use because there was someone in photo that we did not have permission to use in a commercial. Others were not public domain, and we did not have permission to use. there was one that our company owned, so it was okay to use it.
We recently learned how to use prezi. I don't particularly like prezi, mainly because I have used power point all of my life, but when it's finished, it does look cool, it looks much better than power point. We made a prezi about copyright laws, that is our first prezi for this class. At my old school we rarely used prezi, maybe three times last year. That made it harder for me to adapt to prezi, but I think I'll be okay.
