Whenever I publish something about copyright, I get a lot of follow-up concerns. These are a few of the often asked concerns..

I like to share the title or a little summary of your post with my personnel, is that all right?
Yes, as long as youre not republishing the entire thing and or passing it off as your own. If you want someone to check out the entire blog post, provide them the link to it..

You might have seen that my face is appearing in more of the cover images for my blog site posts and in more of the cover images for my videos. The reason is that in my on-going battle versus sites that republish my content without consent it is much easier for me to show evidence of ownership and creativity when my face is in the cover image. Filing DMCA takedown notifications is time-consuming and even when submitted appropriately some hosting business still require even more proof of original work and ownership. Being able to state, “hey, thats my image of myself wearing my favorite flannel t-shirt” is a lot easier and faster than writing an explanation of the creativity of my blog site post.

Can I forward your newsletter to my colleagues?
Yes, of course. Hit the forward button in your inbox and share it as I composed it (over-use of parentheses and hyphens is one of the hallmarks of my article so do not be lured to edit those out)..

Help Understanding Copyright, Creative Commons, and Fair Use.

Its reasonably simple to compose a script that scrapes all of the content from an RSS feed and imports it into a different website. Thats a little more difficult to stop so my option is to submit DMCA takedown notifications with Google to get them to remove the angering content from their results pages.
When filed correctly some hosting business still require even more evidence of original work and ownership, filing DMCA takedown notices is time-consuming and even. Being able to say, “hey, thats my photo of myself wearing my preferred flannel shirt” is a lot easier and faster than writing an explanation of the originality of my article. Still, some shady hosting companies (usually situated beyond the United States) wont do a darn thing to honor my request. In those cases at least theres an easy method for visitors of the offending site to understand that what theyre checking out was taken from FreeTech4Teachers.com.

I embedded your YouTube video into my class/ school website, is that fine?.
Yes, thats totally great as long as youre utilizing the embed or link supplied by YouTube and not downloading the video then republishing it (check out YouTubes TOS for more information)..
