Some of the things that were considered a violation of copyright had me surprised. One wouldn't think that just by copying something for usage in an educational sense is a violation. I found out that something that is copyrighted comes from the point of fixation. I was under the impression that it had to have the little copyright symbol ( I know I'm not the only one who thought this)!!! The idea that I could do something and have it copyrighted is a pretty cool idea. From classroom discussions I learned all about the "poor mans copyright which is a resourceful way to have your items copyrighted if you don't have the means to do it the proper way.
Within school there are always violations of the copyright law. You can find a teacher that copies worksheets from a book and hands them out to the class and use them for a discussion piece or for homework. Also video are shown within the classroom numerous times and probaly without the knowledge that they are doing something wrong. Hey I found that out for myself ( something else I didn't know).
I think that the children show know about the copyright laws so they won't violate it somewhere down the line. Who knows what path they want to lead in the course of their education and there shouldn't be anything that can negate any of the hard work they have done.
