Title Slide:Copyright Crash Course
Music:Grand Entrance
Motion:transition
Narration:This is a copyright symbol. When you see this symbol you know the work has been “copyrighted.” /
Title Slide:Copy what?
Music:N/A
Motion:transition
Narration:Copyright is a type of protection granted to a person who creates an ORIGNAL work. This law says the moment a work is produced the person who created it has full rights to it even if they’ve never registered it and even if it doesn’t display the copyright symbol. /
Title Slide:Cut and Paste
Music:N/A
Motion:transition
Narration:It is very easy to search the Internet and find the information we need. When we cut the information we found and paste it into our document and act as if it is something we wrote, that is not following the copyright laws. Just because it’s on the Internet doesn’t mean anyone can copy it. /
Title Slide:How does copyright apply to me?
Music:N/A
Motion:transition
Narration:Imagine you wrote an incredible story. Later you found out someone read your story and rewrote it and added a little bit to it without your permission and turned it in as if they were the ones who thought of it first. /
Title Slide:That’s mine!
Music: N/A
Motion:transition
Narration:When you create something original, the copyright law says you are the owner of it and you have the right to reproduce, distribute, change it, and display it publically. In other words, people can’t just copy your work as if it was their own. They have to ask your permission first. You may also create a license that allows readers to know what permission you grant. This license is a creative commons license. /
Title Slide:That’s Cheating!
Music: N/A
Motion:transition
Narration:Just like cheating by looking at someone else’s work in class, copying someone else’s work off the Internet or out of a book without giving them credit or asking their permission can lead to consequences such as receiving a zero, being expelled from school – including college, having to pay fees for courts and other fines that could be as much as $150,000. /

Title Slide: CopyRIGHT – Get Permission
Music: N/A
Motion: transition
Narration: There is a right way to “copy” and that is to give credit to the person who produced the original work. Be aware of and respectful of the copyright laws. Before you can use a copyrighted work you must ask the owner’s permission or call the Copyright Clearance Center. /

Title Slide: Copy-Wrong
Music: N/A
Motion: transition
Narration: Photocopy books, copying CDs and DVDs, copying and pasting information or pictures found on the Internet without crediting who created it or where it came from is wrong. Using copyrighted material without the owner’s permission is breaking the copyright laws. /
Title Slide: What is fair use and the TEACH Act
Music: N/A
Motion: transition
Narration: Schools are granted special permission to copy work that is used for educational purposes. This permission is granted through fair use and the TEACH Act. Copying and entire workbook is not considered fair use, but copying a few pages from a textbook because a student is missing those pages would be considered “fair”.
Title Slide: What’s the point?
Music: N/A
Motion: transition
Narration: Keep in mind there are copyright laws that apply to both adults and children. /

Title Slide: Don’t be a copycat
Music: N/A
Motion: transition
Narration: Don’t be a copycat. Give credit where credit is due, ask permission before you use someone else’s work, protect your own work with a creative common’s license and everyone will be happy /
