1.) Forgive me for this first question because it's genuinely something I'm a little confused on in this article, so naturally, it's a little less academic than I think the aim is for these questions: In the article "The Fair Use Doctrine," I am a little confused on how fair use and plagiarism are related in the sense that is it that fair use is a concern for classroom lessons as plagiarism is a concern for student papers? Or is fair use something students have to be concerned about as well with the digital media and online projects?
2.) In Price's article "Situating Plagiarism in Policy and Pedagogy," she mentions Howard's idea of including a page listing the influence of friends, classmates, tutors and others who "contributed" to the text. How far, though, should this be taken; moreover, how do you determine where one person's idea ends and yours begins when you're conversing on a topic? Should one also list the sources of their inspiration for the text, such as TV shows, artists, or other writers? What do you think?
Hey Rosalyn,
ReplyDeleteI think that the connection of fair use to plagiarism is that there seems to be a limit in regards to fair use where if crossed, it bleeds into plagiarism, copyright, and whatnot. I get your confusion though. It seems like there are a lot particularities regarding this entire conversation/subject that it can get a little complex. I look at is a bunch of moving parts going to towards the same goal, to define what is or when it is illegal to borrow from someone else. I hope that answers your question, if not, I tried.
