Just took the copyright quiz, and I can honestly say that I didn't feel confident on many of them with the exception of showing a movie at a fundraiser. I was particularly confused by #10 and #12. I'm not sure how showing a (non-curricular) movie in your classroom is different than showing a film in your home to a bunch of kids or watching a film on a tour bus. Is it because it's school? I was equally surprised that showing a TV program that a teacher taped violated copyright law. I actually thought that the more removed from the original date the video was shown, the less problematic it would be.
After taking the quiz, I'm curious about both old and new magazine and newspaper articles. What is the protocol for copying them and distributing them? Is it okay to link to an article from your website? Are you allowed to project an article live on your projector or save it as a PDF to project later? Hmmmm......
