Copyright, Appropriation and Fair Use with Teens

About the CREATIVE RIGHTS PROJECT:
Last year, the Berkman Center at Harvard University (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu) conducted research on how students use and understand copyright law. Based on these findings, a team at Berkman decided to develop a curriculum that would treat students like creative artists who needed to know their rights. This curriculum is web-based and is now in beta stage. It includes a copyright licensing game and a fair use test. Rosalie Fay Barnes presented the licensing and fair use tools at the Nov 5th RYMAEC meeting in order to provide a mini-training and gather feedback about teaching fair use and copyright laws in the classroom.
