copyrights SCARY!

After reading the information about copyrights and how easy it is to break the law, even with the best of intentions, I realized how important it is to ensure you are very careful with what you use and how you use it. These sites will come in handy when I am actually in a class room sharing the wealth of information available these days. The technicality of all of it is a little intimidating but it is still good to know there are people and places where the rules are plain and available. The Creative Commons is brilliant! It is so good to see an organization like this bringing great people with their innovative ideas together under safe and fair circumstances. While I realize the importance of owner ship and credit, and therefore respect and support copyrights, I am glad there is somewhere available for people to branch out and connect. It encourages expansion through cooperation and what is technology better for than that?!
