Re: [LM_NET] SHARE->Picture Plagiarism or am I just being to picky?!

Adam,
I think you are right. It is very important to model what we are supposed
to be teaching our students, especially these days with copyright issues so
sensitive. I know I would want to get credit for developing what must be a
great website if others are inclined to use it. This is a good reminder for
all of us to get permission from the creators before we just use their
work. Thanks for bringing it up for us. I would think sending gentle
reminder to these folks would keep them from having problems with this in
the future.
