Copyright

This post is a response to a quiz on copyright laws.

I did pretty well on the quiz. I felt like I knew most of the answers and was confident in my knowledge on the topic. There were only a few questions that I guessed on and got wrong.  The few questions about who would win lawsuits, stumped me.

I was surprised that a student couldn't use a copyrighted  picture on the school website even though he gave credit to the source. I had thought that as long as credit was given to the creator, the art could be used. I also found it interesting that a student could download a copyrighted picture from the web and use it in his project without an issue.  I had thought that he would need to cite the source, which the situation does not say that he does.

This was a very interesting quiz to take. I found that I did pretty well on the quiz and felt confident in most of my answers and knowledge.  However, I did discover that I still have more to learn and need to keep looking into copyright laws.
