Post 5

I was slightly surprised that even teachers have to be so careful with some of the things for copying that they would use in the classroom.  When I was in grade school, I played in the band and we all got copies of sheet music, so there is a great possibility that copyright laws were violated.  I don’t know for a fact, but I’m sure in presentations or other situations either from the teacher or other students the copyright laws were violated somehow.  Out of schools, people violate the copyright laws all the time with CDs and DVDs being burned/copied.  People may also many times take pictures, information and documents posted by others, from the internet.  I think as a teacher it is important to inform students on what copyright is and in which ways they could get in trouble if they copy certain things.  In order to do this, I will assign certain assignments that students may use certain information or other copyrighted materials and will see how they handle the contents.
