The Educator's Guide to Copyright and Fair Use
A five-part series When it comes to copyright law and the application of fair use exceptions, ignorance is definitely not bliss! Learn how to educate yourselves and your students and avoid making a costly mistake! You really did plan to find time over the summer to familiarize yourself with the latest information on copyright law. You absolutely intended to look up the fair use guidelines for using technology resources. So now you have a student who wants to include audio of a Beatles song in a multimedia presentation about the 1960s, another who wants to include the poem "Casey at the Bat" in a report on the World Series, and a third who wants to post photographs of Biden and Obama to the class Web site.

Copyright basics - Fair dealing (Canada) vs. Fair use (U.S.) In Canada, fair dealing as defined by the Copyright Act is more restrictive than the fair use provisions in the United States, particularly in regards to education and teaching. For example, in the United States, showing films or videos in a classroom without special permission or performance rights is permitted. In Canada, public performance rights must be acquired to show a video or film in a classroom. The United States also allows making copies of works for distribution in class. For additional information on the differences between fair dealing in Canada and fair use in the United States, see the summary table (PDF) prepared by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. In Canada, teaching is not listed as an example of fair dealing and is only covered in the specific educational exceptions as outlined below.
Peter Cooper Glue Factory – Exploring America's Gritty History
Have you ever eaten Jell-O? If the answer is yes, then Peter Cooper has been a part of your life. New York-based industrialist Peter Cooper received a patent for gelatin in 1845. He is also known for his other major contributions to American history. He also designed the first steam locomotive in the United States. Located just south of Milwaukee in an area called Carrollville sits a huge abandoned complex of buildings at the end of a long road. The US Department of Health & Human Services wrote about the site in a report. This area of Oak Creek is historically referred to as Carrollville, though many current Oak Creek residents may not be familiar with the name (Cech 2005). For Milwaukee area old-timers the name Peter Cooper is synonymous with putrid stench. The previously mentioned USDH&HS report details the fire that destroyed much of the Peter Cooper factory in 1987. In November 1987, a fire broke out in the main buildings of the vacant Peter Cooper facility. Research Links:
APFN MESSAGE BOARD - China wants a One World Currency too
Henk Ruyssenaars July 13th 2009 - In a publication by William Pesek, Bloomberg's 'news' columnist in Tokyo, Pesek wrote about the development in the US/China relations, and the fact that China wants a 'One World Currency' too, some kind of 'global framework' to keep the money flow going. The reason, Pesek wrote, was that the $17 Trillion debt would result in a 'Divorce' between the two, which ''won’t be a pretty one.'' "What may be necessary is a global framework or pact, to end the dollar’s dominance. "Returning from China last month, U.S. "China is beginning to cancel Congress’s credit card," he told Fox News on June 10. But the Chinese know all this, and 'help' with their propaganda to guide towards - what they think too - is a profitable solution: profitable for the banks of course. In a report from the world's monetary flow and usury institute, the criminal Rothschild BIS cartel says - in between the lines - the same as China: that more control is needed. And China knows this too...
Summary of current copyright law as it pertains to email, web sites, mineral clubs, club newsletters.

All creative works are protected instantly. Using any images or articles from johnbetts-fineminerals.com or allminerals.com is forbidden without written permission. As an author I have had many instances where my photographs and articles have been reprinted without my permission.

Fact: According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) "The laws of almost all countries provide that copyright protection starts as soon as the work is created." Misconception #2: An article was less than 250 words, therefore we can use it freely. Fact: An article, column, paragraph or sentence are all equally protected by copyright law regardless of length. Fact: This is another misunderstanding. Conclusion

The Commons
Under "The Commons," cultural institutions that have reasonably concluded that a photograph is free of copyright restrictions are invited to share such photograph under their new usage guideline called "no known copyright restrictions." Photographs can be difficult to analyze under copyright law, not only because laws around the world differ with respect to scope and duration of protection, but because the photographs themselves often lack credit lines, dates and other identifying information. Libraries, museums and other cultural institutions have a great deal of experience with photographs because they frequently collect, preserve, document and study them in accordance with their nonprofit missions. However, in many instances, a cultural institution will not be the rights holder under copyright law. Therefore, it can neither grant permission to others who wish to use a photograph nor provide a guarantee that the photograph is in the public domain.
