Today in digital media Heidi Gable taught the class about copyright. We were shown several examples of people/companies that used copyrighted material and were sued. The one example that I will talk about on my blog is a commercial for GoldieBlox that used a Beastie Boys song without permission in a commercial. The link is here:

 We also talked about if its legal to cover songs without talking to the artist first, I also learned that people are not supposed to take photos off the internet without making sure that the person who posted the photo is OK with use of it. The course was very good and I really enjoyed it.
