Copyright, Public Domain, and Fair Use

It is important for students, educators, adults, and creators of all ages to understand the basics of the United States Copyright laws. Not a legal discourse, but this basic overview clearly explains a difficult topic using flowcharts and resource pages for middle school and up. A very special video interview (42 minutes!) further explains copyright rules in an easy-to-understand way. This resource is ideal for writing reports or research projects, but also for those of any age wishing to create in other media, such as printables, film, or crafts. No "pencil work" in this one, but you will refer to the material over and over again.
