Copyright and Fair Use SR

I was very surprised that teachers are allowed to make copies of their CDs incase something happens to them. I was also surprised that the yearbook wasn't able to use the music on their slide show because this is done often by many schools. I believe that this is a hard law to follow for many people because music almost always goes with a slide show. I agree that students can use pictures in their projects or school work if they have taken them from around town. I was very surprised with the disney movie charging 25 dollars for them to show the video. I believe that this is weird and I think that simple permission should be enough. I was upset that teachers at the elementary school are allowed to post the students work. I see the copyright being okay beacuse it is protected, but i disagree that teachers can post students work I believe that is copying the students. I was unaware that teachers are allowed to get pictures off the wed and use them as resources in their classroom. This makes sense and I agree that if anything is reposted on the wed then they need to get permission from the people who hold the copy right. I am surprised that teachers aren't able to make copies of CDs if there are more students then CDs. This makes sense and I agree with the fact that only number of CDs owned is the amount of students who can use it at once.
