  • there’s a war raging over what some now are calling a new art form in the emerging Web 2.0 culture—remix
  • remix is collage, a recombination of existing, reference images or music and video clips from popular digital culture, elements of which are mashed up into something new.

      If digital literacy includes remixing, then the skills of citation and attribution are more important than ever.

PSA: Don't Let Salami and Google Images Get You In Hot Water -Edublogs - education blog... - 130 views

  • This is a true story.
  • Three years ago, an eleven-year-old blogger here on Edublogs wrote a post about his favorite lunch food – salami.
  • Our Edublogs support team just received a lengthy cease and desist letter from a large law firm that represents the photographer of the salami photo.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • As part of his post, he used Google Images to find a quick photo of salami that he then uploaded to his blog.
  • What does this mean for teachers and students?
  • Using Google Images or copying a photo from most websites is much like plagiarism. Hopefully, by educating each other, we can avoid mistakes like this one and promote fair use of photos and other media on the web.
  •  
    Shared this with my students and we decided to create a class Diigo library of public domain images to help reduce everyone's legwork. It takes a little while longer to find pictures, but it's worth it.

EFF Wins New Legal Protections for Video Artists, Cell Phone Jailbreakers, and Unlocker... - 7 views

  • The new rule holds that amateur creators do not violate the DMCA when they use short excerpts from DVDs in order to create new, noncommercial works for purposes of criticism or comment if they believe that circumvention is necessary to fulfill that purpose.
  • "Noncommercial videos are a powerful art form online, and many use short clips from popular movies. Finally the creative people that make those videos won't have to worry that they are breaking the law in the process, even though their works are clearly fair uses. That benefits everyone — from the artists themselves to those of us who enjoy watching the amazing works they create," added McSherry.
