What's Fair? How TMS approaches Copyright and Fair Use
October 8, 2007 by Rhys
Last Friday, I was honored to represent TMS at a small group discussion
between 18 educators and media literacy consultants to discuss fair use
in media education at The Academy for Educational Development
in Manhattan. The event was a follow up to the release of
The Cost of Copyright Confusion for Media Literacy (PDF), the first report of
The Center for Social Media's attempt to develop a national "code of
practices" to allow media literacy educators to develop curricula
without fear of legal action, which I was interviewed for last spring. The discussion has me feeling pretty confident about how TMS deals with copyrighted material in our collaborative production work.
