This week we learned about Copyright laws. This lesson contained information on what it means to copyright something, including what that means to the person with the rights to it and those who want to use it. It explained what we can and can not use without the owners permission.
Copyright is a very sticky subject to me. It's always hard for me to determine what's written too similar to something or whether I can or cannot use an image for a project. It was nice to have the rules put in simple terms for once. I looked it up on a few other websites to get a bit more clarification, but they all basically said the same thing.
This is probably one of the most important lessons so far in my opinion. If we don't know what we can and can't legally use we can get into a lot of trouble. As I mentioned in my last post, I plan to use a blog in my future career and I therefore must know what I can and cannot put in it.
