The Zanders make and interesting point about copyrighting and how it may be stifling the educational process. The feeling that I receive from the reading is that there needs to be a common sense approach to the matter. However, as someone as stated, sense is is not very common today.
Think of how students had used the Napster sharing site to "bootleg" free copies of music for the MP3 files. No one used common sense or discipline when it came to this site, causing major music companies to strike swiftly and making the Napster site change its format and business. Copyrighting was out the window in a heart beat while young people boasted and gloated that they did pay for their music.
The Zanders want to free up the copyright situation when it concerns education and its presentations. But, one must be careful or the same mass copying will occur again.
