Copyright+Laws

 =Copyright Law s =

In this lesson students will learn about copyright laws, intellectual property and guidelines for using copyrighted materials. The lesson will begin with a YouTube video explaining what a copyright is and ownership of intellectual property. The PowerPoint Presentation by Michael Lorenzen on Copyright Basics will follow. This lesson coincides with the Music Departments unit on music pirating to reinforce copyright laws across the board – both in print and in music. The students will then answer the questions on the discussion Forum “Do you have to cite all information you find on the Internet?” and “If you ‘share’ music with a friend that you have downloaded from iTunes, have you violated any copyright laws?” on MassONE and respond to at least one other student’s response.
