What is �copyright�?

Online copyright for lots of stuff, companies, services for anyone who needs to get permission or copyright material for transfer over the web, etc.

Problem: you are an academic who needs to reproduce copyrighted material for your winter semester class. You are going to use the �CCC� (Copyright Clearance Center, Inc.) services to obtain the rights to do this. How much will it cost?
Find one FAQ and provide answer to question that you think might benefit teachers. Do elementary and secondary teachers need to be concerned about these issues when reproducing class materials?
Did Laura use this or a similar service to gain permissions for copied articles for class??

Problem: Does copyrighted material have to be marked as such? Y/N Since when?
Problem: What does �fair use� mean?
