iPhoto and the Copyright dilemma
Hey - did you know you might be stealing and not even know it? If you use photos from the internet for class projects, and you don’t cite the sources, you are guility of copyright infringement.
Imagine you had worked hard to learn how to take great photos. You went to classes, spent hours practicing what you learned, and spent money on a good camera. After months of study, you were able to produce high quality photos, and you were proud of your work. You put the pictures online and included them on your website.
Then you found out that someone was using them on their own website where they made it sound like THEY had taken the photos. Wouldn’t this make you upset?
Copyright is a funny thing. You CAN use photos from the web without permission for CLASSROOM projects (unless the author specifically says you need their permission) as long as you give credit to them by citing the source. You CAN’T use photos for profit (lets say you have an online business) with out permission from the creator.
Today we’ll learn how to use iPhoto to collect both photos AND the citation information you need.
