Reading Work Sample #1
Fair Use or Not

Dear Class:

Today we will continue to examine the wide world of "Copyright" and "Netiquette". Please go to the Copyright Powerpoint

You will be completing on the following worksheet. After you finish the worksheet (the slide numbers are not correct so you will have to find the answers on your own!), you will look at slide 40 and analyze the four cases that are provided regarding copyright infringement. You will need to make your own copy of the worksheet and share it with me on your google docs.

We will go over the google doc part of this class. For those students unable to get into your account, you will fill it in and print it and hand it in on my desk.

CIS

For the analysis of the cases, slide 40 has 4 court cases in reference to Fair Use. Each case name is linked to a google presentation. I want you to create a grid on the back of your worksheet (if you had to print it out) or on a google doc create a grid and analyze whether the Purpose, Nature, Amount and Effect fall under Fair Use, and whether you think the court ruled copyright infringement or not.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
