Week 1- Copyright
On the issue of copyrights, I believe that giving credit to the owner is a given. But I also believe that though the use of sampling and sharing of older artist a lot of history is learned. When it comes to copyright there is really no clear answer, the best thing to do is cite. It is better to ask permission than to break the law. Good Copy, Bad Copy was eye opening to see artists and producers sampling from each other.

Let's be clear, Tonneche, copyright is complicated and there are best practices, but using media without permission is against the law and in the case of file-sharing or installing software without permission, can result in fines of thousands and thousands of dollars. So, this is not a suggestion but something we need to be aware of and follow. Yes, copyright is broken, so we also need to do what we can to effect change. As educators, we need to lead by example and do what we can do.
