New Copyright Ruling Provides No Benefit for K-12

What were they thinking? According to an article in eSchool News, a recent interpretation by the U.S. Copyright Office of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act affords expanded use of video clips ONLY to higher education, "because K-12 education doesn’t need access to visually high-quality clips."

With criticism of the state of U.S. education rampant, one would think that ANY advantage we can give to K-12 educators and students would be valuable.

It's important to keep in mind that today's students are the citizens, business owners, leaders, voters --and taxpayers--of tomorrow!
