Digital Copyrights and Wrongs

Aug 15, 2001

A sycophantic look at copyright and online learning with a few links to information on copyright and fair use. There's nothing new here and a lot that is just wrong. For example, Tip 1, "Remember, new tools, same rules," is false. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) changes the rules substantially. And ignore the recommendations in Tip 4 - encryption and watermarking are currently no defense against copying and therefore a waste of time. So why this link? The article is from Learning Circuits, which means it will get wide circulation (it's already covered, uncritically, in elearningpost). ASTD could do so much better, and so can you. By Donna J. Abernathy, Learning Circuits, August, 2001.
