I really enjoyed the class on copyright November 19th. I think we all learned a lot about copyright laws that we didn’t know. I really liked that this class didn’t just go over a bunch of legal cases that had nothing to do with us, Rachel also clarified that we had rights to everything we have written, drawn, performed, etc. I think that the intention of this class was to let us know what we have the rights to and to really inform us about free use. I walked away from the class with a greater knowledge of what copyright really is and was surprised to learn that copyright and plagiarism are not the same. A neat addition to this class would have been to have everyone put a copyright with one of their works. It could make the little symbols have more of a meaning to us.

Emma-
I loved our class on November 19th too. I thought it was fun and interesting. We could relate to it easily with all the examples Rachel used. Have a good Thanksgiving.

I really enjoyed this class as well. I think we all need to know about our rights in regards to copyright lawns. I learned a lot from this lecture too. I think that your idea about everyone putting a copyright with one of their own works is a really good idea, giving it more of a personal feel.
