Abstract

"Do I have to get permission to use this?" "Is this legal?" "If it doesn't have the copyright symbol on it, is it still copyrighted?"... Misconceptions abound among educators today about what uses of multimedia are permissible and legal in the classroom under US copyright law, and it is critical to address and correct these ideas. This article presents some answers in Winter 2003. This article was published in a Spring 2003 issue of the TCEA TechEdge magazine.
