Copyright

Welcome to the exciting world of copyright! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will teach you the basics of U.S. copyright law. First, you’ll find out what a copyright is, and learn which types of work it protects. You’ll also see some examples of the rights extended to the author of a creative work like a book, song, or piece of art. In addition, you’ll discover what happens to a copyright once it expires. Tim will also teach you a bit about fair use, which allows people to use copyrighted works without permission. It’s a tricky but really important subject, so log in and check it out!

  • Great alignment with Common Core. Like that there are additional videos listed that relate. Like you can see the quizzes others have created. The provided Lesson Seed is a create lesson. Would like to see more seeds (maybe one on has students work through using MLA or APA correctly).
