Copyrights and copying wrongs

I just ran across a five part series of articles titled: Copyrights and Copying Wrongs at Education World. It provides a nice overview of copyright issues for teachers as they relate to reusing web based resources. My research with teachers indicates that many are largely unaware of copyright issues. They assume that Fair Use allows them to use whatever they want pretty much how they want since they are not using it to make money. When you provide tools like TADRIOLA that allow teachers to easily author lessons that draw from and adapt resources on the web, it becomes especially important to help teachers clearly understand the issues.
