Copyright

There was a lot that I learned from these three videos about copyright. To be honest I've never known a ton about copyright so it was really interesting for me to learn. The first video talked about how copyright laws aren't used to protect the author financially but was supposed to help science and information spread increase and improve. In the second video it talked about the four factors of fair usu: purpose and character of use, nature of the work, amount and substance of the work, and effect of the use on the market. I would like to remember these guidelines because they're easy to remember but will help me know if I'm obeying the copyright rules. I liked learning about the CONFU guidelines that helped teachers be more responsible about what they show in class and post on their websites. A few guidelines: 10% or 3 minutes of a video (whichever is smallest), 30 seconds of a song. These guidelines apply to songs and videos that they get legally but do not have the permission from the author to see it.




This video broke so many copyright rules! First of all, we never know where he gets the music from. Actually we never know what the name of the song is either. The pictures aren't cited and neither are the facts. With it being a video about a historical event it is especially important for the information to be cited because it makes it even more credible. I really like this video because I think it would capture the audiences attention and definitely tug at peoples heart strings but he needs to give the credit to the people who took the pictures and to the websites where he got his information from.
