In keeping with my theme in this blog, I found an interesting paper asking some fundamental questions about problems with current copyright, with special attention to education.  Here's a snippet....

In this article, we explore how the technological, social, cultural, and legal developments of the digital age challenge educators and students who seek to make use of copyrighted material for educational purposes and offer educators strategies for dealing with today’s copyright challenges.

This article is from Innovate, an online magazine. Citation information is at the end of the article and yes, I checked very carefully to make sure I could post it here. There are a number of references to new legislation and other initiatives that aim to adapt copyright law to the digital age. 

How this will sort out is anyone's guess, but one step we can all take is to do our best to know and to follow current law.  Bob
