This week I learned about copyright, fair use, piracy, and how to use multimedia products. When creating multimedia products like making blogs and doing a project for school, make sure that you use a lot of sources to back up your information so people can see where you got it from. Also make sure that you use all the available software to make your blog or project a success and make it more engaging for the people that is viewing it. Using software like the Word Doc, Presentations, and Spreadsheet etc. are some of the most useful and most used software that anyone can use easily. If you plan on using a copyrighted item for a school project of news reporting then it is totally legal to do so with Fair Use. Fair Use is legal for anyone who is using a copyrighted item for purposes such as for Education, News Reporting, Parody, and/or Critical Commentary. Your part of the deal is to cite the sources of where you got it from. Piracy or in other words, posting or showing an item that has a copyright on it free for download with no Fair Use purposes, even though you bought. This act can be committed easily by anyone with just one mistake, everyone in the world can get their hands on it. Using the internet, its sources, and people's works can be tricky and hard to maneuver through, but with some time anyone can get use to citing sources and giving rightful credit to those people all around the world for their work.
Check out my video about:
Check out this video for more detail about fair use in a fun way!
I liked your video because it showed an example of someone violating copyright. I also think that even if it seems like a lot of work to obtain permission to use something, it is worth it to make sure that the author still receives credit for their work.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right. Violating copyright may seem comparable to a white lie, but the creators deserve credit for their work.
ReplyDeleteYou obviously put a lot of thought and effort into your video, as it has some very great points. No matter the amount information that you get from someone, you always need to cite it.
ReplyDeleteNice video, and very good example, it helped me see how people can violate copyright.
