8. Intellectual Property
Have you ever written a story, created a piece of artwork, or composed a song? Written works, photographs, artwork, and music are a few of the many products that people create from information and ideas. This information, the ideas, and the products that stem from them are called Intellectual Property. Knowledge, creative ideas, or expressions of the human mind that can have commercial value are protected under copyright laws.

9. Copyright Myths?!?
If it doesn’t have the copyright notice ( © ), then it is not copyrighted.
If I don’t charge for it, then it is not a violation.
If it is posted on Google, then it is public domain (anyone can use.)
My post was “fair use.”
If you don’t defend your copyright, you lose it.
If I make up stories, but base them on someone else’s work; it’s okay because I made up most of it.
They can’t get me… it’s freedom of speech!
It doesn’t hurt anybody, it’s free advertisement. They should be paying me!
I bought a copy so I can do with it however I want.
They posted it or sent me a copy, so it’s fair game.

10. Bottom line… When in doubt… ALWAYS GET PERMISSION!
When sharing outside of the classroom… ALWAYS GET PERMISSION!
Always cite the source where it was gathered from.
