Throughout my entire education, I have always been warned to be careful of plagiarism, but I was never told about copyright, until I came to Full Sail. It was mentioned within the first few weeks of class and was always talked about, but I feel like I found out more about copyright than I have in the past. It is very overwhelming to me, as are many of the laws you read about/research. I wish that there were a more simple way for the general public to be able to view and under stand the copyright laws as well as fair use.
I really enjoyed the videos we had to watch this week. Although they contained a huge amount of information, they were not overwhelming and it was nice to have a lighter way to present the information. I really liked the fair use “Fairy tale.” As a child of the 90’s, I grew up watching many of these videos.
So true Ashely... We are often warned/educated about plagiarism in our academic pursuits, but rarely is the issue of copyright addressed. With the increased availability of/prevalence of media in our culture, this is definitely an area to watch and stay informed about.
