Copyrights and Copying Wrongs Web Video

          During our last EDU 3040 class our instructor, Dr. Damiri asked us to view this online video and write a summary of what we learned from it.



The website for the video is: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/


          This video is on the top right-hand side of the website. It was about 52 minutes long and it is about copyright laws and fair use policy. The video is from Law.gov and it is in a video workshop format. Law.Gov workshop: A Revolution in Legal Affairs.


          The panel during the workshop included: Anurag Acharya, Google, Lead engineer behind Google's case law project on Google Scholar; Carl Malamud, Public.Resource.Org; Jonathan Zittrain, Harvard Law School and was moderated by Roberta Morris, Stanford Law School. This video was filmed at the Stanford Law School on January 12, 2010.


          It is a video workshop hosted by Stanford University. During the video there were numerous speakers from colleges and universities.

          The reason for the workshop is to attempt to make both the federal as well as the state governments make it easier to access information. Gaining access to information can be a costly, expensive undertaking. There are quite a few people that need information, but cannot get it because they cannot afford to get access to it.
