Copyright

When someone releases content that they are proud of, they want to ensure that they are at least credited when it's used for other purposes.  Musicians enjoy producing music for others to listen to, but also would appreciate those who use the music to credit them for their work as to encourage others to follow their other works.

What I have learned in this article is how to identify if I may use something with the proper citation.  Looking for the CC (Creative Common License) allows me to use the content, granted I sited it to give the author the credit they deserve.

When teaching this topic to students, I will ask them to create a picture.  After creating it I could ask another student to borrow the picture, but then claim to have created it himself.  I will ask how the student who created the image feels and ask if it is fair for another person to take ownership of something they didn't make.  I hope this example will teach the students to properly cite things they use on the internet because that same type of feeling is what every author could feel.
