Copyright excesses worry teachers, scholars - Corey Murray, eSchool News
When digital video first streamed into schools, many predicted it would one day revolutionize teaching and learning. But the threat of lawsuits and new copy-protection technologies are keeping educators from exercising their legal right to use portions of video and other digital media in the classroom, warned scholars and legal experts at a June 18 summit. "Knowledge Held Hostage? Scholarly Versus Corporate Rights in the Digital World," sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication, sought to find a place for digital media under the provision of "fair use"--a hotly debated exemption in U.S. copyright law that permits researchers and scholars to reproduce selected materials for educational purposes without the permission of the copyright holder. "Teachers and scholars are losing ground" in the fight to use digital media for educational or research purposes, American Library Association (ALA) copyright specialist Carrie Russell told eSchool News.
