As my students and I publish more content online I've become much more aware and concerned about it. <BR/><BR/>I try to teach them how to remix content without stealing by using (cc) materials. My greatest concern is the same as Larry Lessig's in the closing minutes of his TED talk. Excessively restrictive copyright legislation may breed a generation of people who take breaking the law as a matter of course. Aside from the many issues this raises, that creates an extremely "corrosive" environment for our children to grow up in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-77721909960962585152007-12-23T22:28:00.000-06:002007-12-23T22:28:00.000-06:00Thanks for this post. The issue of harmfully rest...Thanks for this post. The issue of harmfully restrictive copyright really is important--way more important than most educators can even begin to comprehend. As someone who works in special education, I'm concerned that the new legislation may even have an adverse affect on access to text in alternative formats for individuals with special needs. The new legislation definitely has the potential to limit alternative means for individuals with learning disabilities to demonstrate their learning. Thanks again for articulating the situation and for the call to action.Paul Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594007631592685010noreply@blogger.com
