However, the good people at Temple and American Universities have released a copyright and fair use "Code of Best Practices", funded by the MacArthur Foundation. It clears up many myths and I would argue that its many signatories (including NCTE) give this document some weight.

In terms of remixing – I’ve been trying to explore the implications of historical remixing – creating digital collages to demonstrate historical understanding.

Do you know of other classroom practices around remixing?

YouTube is ridiculous sometimes. But not as bad as dead country singers are. In the last two months, I've had two YouTube videos I made myself, with background music from Cash and Rabbitt, and both have been turned off until I change the soundtrack because they used portions of songs from those dead musicians. Well, that’s a familiar name commenting above mine.

I am also miffed that I can't see this YouTube clip. I tried the link suggested above and was told: Lessig / Colbert Remix Interview Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. Perhaps another reason to laugh and another opportunity to submit a frantic help ticket to my technology department. I think I am supposed to clear the browsing history or something. Instead I will try to watch it at home. I liked Richard Schwier's remarks on the dilemma facing educators: share information and knowledge or respect the rights of the creators of that knowledge. <abbr><em>Alan Stanges last blog post..<a href="http://alanstange.blogspot.com/2009/01/podcasting.html" rel="nofollow">Podcasting</a></abbr></em> Okay, even though it has been said, I have to tell you I am laughing till my muscles hurt.

I appreciate your comment, Dean, as I've also struggled the changes in the area of copyright/left. I've also tried to catch up, and while I get the basic ideas, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable advising students and teachers about what they can and can't do. I think there is a principle of "reasonableness" that is useful to keep in mind. When we use materials, are we being reasonable about how we treat the creator? For example, if we want to link to a video that is available on YouTube, but we can't trust our connection in the classroom on a particular day, is it reasonable to make, store and use a copy instead of the online version? Of course that opens the door to all kinds of justifications for inappropriate use, but it is still a place I like to start. <abbr><em>Richard Schwiers last blog post..<a href="http://omegageek.net/rickscafe/?p=1242" rel="nofollow">Visual Design for Instructional Multimedia</a></abbr></em> I do love that this clip was taken down due to a copyright claim.
