[LM_NET] Blogs and Copyright

[Sandy Eichelberger <seichel@ADELPHIA.NET>]

Web 2.0 tools are becoming more and more popular and I have cautioned 
teachers who allow their students to add downloaded pictures and even 
trademarked images to their blogs. An administrator suggested the 
Fair Use standard but I recommended getting permission for any 
"borrowed" images included in the blog. In searching copyright books 
and web sites I couldn't find an exact answer. If you are 
knowledgeable about copyright and the new web tools, please share 
your expertise or direct me to a source.
Thanks so much.
Sandy
