Class Activity #2 Fair Use

1.)Media in education is using digital and audio things to present different facts and information. Media literacy education is teaching people to access, analyze, evaulate, and share messages, but only works  when people have a strong understanding of "fair use".

2.)The social bargain at the heart of fair use is purely just copying.

3.)Fair use is more important today because copy right protects and backs up more documents and pictures for a longer period of time, and creators have a harder time getting and paying for licenses to use the material.

4.) Two key questions that judges use to determine fair use are:
"Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original?" and "Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?"

5.)Yes that is Fair Use. The Lion King was a copyrighted work, but since it was being used as a way to teach and wasn't transformed in anyway, it would fall under Fair Use.

6.) The principle that relates the strongest to my digital story is principle 2.. I used my own pictures to create my video.

7.)No.

8.) No because you are using it for educational purposes, so you just have to make sure that you correctly cite the material.

9.)Yes, educators need to do things legally so they can lead by example. If students see their teachers not doing the correct things, they won't think that they have to either.

10.) The myth that surprised me the most was that "fair use was too complicated and best left up to lawyers" I had already had that thought and didn't think it would be that simple of a process.
