9:15 - 10:15: 5 Principles of the Code of Best Practice
Summary Active of 5 Principles

Case Study #1


1. Is Project Look Sharp's use of the Newsweek covers a transformative use? Does it add value and repurpose the images? Why or why not?

2. Why do you think Newsweek told Project Look Sharp to get permission from the photographers and the subjects of the photos?

3. Does it make a difference whether or not Project Look Sharp makes money from selling their curriculum materials? Why or why not?

4. In this video, the copyrighted images were used for purposes of critique and analysis. Would it make a difference to you if the images were used for purposes of illustration? Why or why not?

5. Which of the five principles of the Code of Best Practices for Fair Use in Media Literacy Education are relevant in this case? What evidence supports your answer?

Case Study #2


1. Do you agree that the use of images and music in these PSAs was a transformative use? Does it add value and repurpose? Why or why not?

2. Why do you think these students chose to use copyrighted works in their videos? Why didn't they use royalty-free music? Why do you think they chose a picture of a Cadillac instead of a generic car image with no logo?

3. Do you think the students should have given credit to the original creators of the images they used in their videos? The students used Google Images -- how would they find out who the original creator is?

4. Which of the five principles are relevant in this case? What evidence supports your answer?

Case Study #3


1. If you were the photographer who posted these Flickr images, how would you feel about students using them in the Virtual Zoo?

2. Why do you think the educators in this case study felt it was important to post these images online instead of sharing them just within their class? Do you think they should have posted it to a password-protected site instead? Why or why not?

3. In this video, the teachers instructed students to do a Creative Commons search within Flickr. Why do you think they included this step? Why didn't they encourage students to use Google Images to find images? When would it be OK to use Google images to search for materials?

4. Which of the five principles are relevant in this case? What evidence supports your answer?

Extra Ideas:

The Copyright Savager Hunt

Search the web for the terms Copyright and Fair Use. Compare different versions that you find and how they "bend the meaning" of copyright and Fair Use for their own use.
