Copyright and Fair Use SR

1. The first question's result surprised me as I assumed this would go against copy right. However, while it states that the copying should be done only in emergencies, there are quite a few allowances, such as lost, stolen, or damaged copies, along with copies which are no longer available or overpriced. Therefore, I am still slightly confused by this rule.

6. This seems realistic to me. However, the only thing I question is why the teacher did not hold on to his sources, and the students were not asked to cite their sources within the project. Maybe this was just implied in the project descriptor?

7. This is very logical as the parents and students have already allowed the work to be posted on the website. This is evidence of learning, and it is fair that the teachers would want parents as well as other faculty members to see the students' progress. In addition, it is a matter of pride for the students who worked hard on the project!

8. Students must be very careful when partaking in activities such as the one in question 8. While it seems that this would not be a problem, the student must ensure that the site used has given credit and is allowed to use the video. The student should definitely cross check his resources.

9. I was confused by this answer. Unless it is implied but not stated, wouldn't the teacher need to pay for the MP3? I understand that the MP3s themselves are payed for, yet doesn't the teacher get in trouble for not purchasing audio clips?

10. Yet again, I am confused. The teacher may use these resources within the classroom, yet she can not post it on the web? I understand that there are rules in sharing information, yet wouldn't it be assumed that as long as credits were given, this would be acceptable?

11. While this surprised me, I am glad to know that actual video footage can be used for multimedia projects. My only question is whether there are actual rules regarding videos being used for multimedia? There wasn't too large of an explanation.

12. Teachers have infinite availability to video files if used for educational purposes. Since the student was not allowed to take the shower scene from the actual movie, the teacher was permitted to do so herself.
