Copyright laws date back to 1790 and are protected under Article one of the Bill of Rights. Copyright laws have changed significantly over the years. Original works can be under copyright protections for up to ninety years after the death of an author. If a student violates a copyright they can be sent a take-down notice and they may be ultimately have a court case brought against them. If posting an image for a website a student may use images they created or on sites such as blackboard or any government website. If using a image from another website it is most likely under the copy right law. Therefore, a student must obtain permission from the author. If the author is dead, but the work is still under copyright the student must obtain permission from the holder of the copyright. If permission is obtained the student still must cite the source in a bibliography.

Remember that if you get photos from a free website like Stock.EXCHNG you don’t have to worry about copyrights. Also, Creative Commons provides an alternative to traditional copyrights, with the “some rights reserved” copyright.
So I really liked your presentation. Dinosaurs are pretty cool.
