This document discusses issues around copyright and piracy for students in the digital age. It provides background on the history and purpose of copyright law. It notes that copyright terms have increased over time in favor of publishers, though shorter terms may promote more innovation. The document discusses how digital technologies and the internet challenge traditional copyright models, and how students commonly engage in file sharing unaware of or rationalizing its legal issues. It suggests educators should raise student awareness of these issues and promote the use of Creative Commons licensing for educational materials to encourage sharing and remixing within legal bounds.
