I really liked this video. For one it's funny. Secondly it can be shown to my students to help clear up potential copyright issues. I believed that it presented information vary clearly. It helped me tremendously on the Creative Commons. I have went to Creative Commons before but this video helped to clear up some of the uses of Creative Commons for me. I viewed the other videos in the assignment but this one was the most helpful for me.

I also was unaware before this assignment that parody is allowed under copyright laws. This is crazy. I had no idea. I also learned that Fair-Use is not a right but is a defensible position in court.

I too was most interested in the Creative Commons videos and discussion. It was great to have some clarity with how this connects with the copyright issues that we discussed earlier. The video was very creative and clear that the Creative Commons licenses make it obvious the rights associated with how you use the piece of media. What a great piece of media to explain this kind of thing to students!
