Debbie Patsel -
I couldn't agree with you more about being glad that we are finally covering "Copyright Issues." I feel that this should have been covered in the very first month at Full Sail. By covering such an important topic early enough, would have helped clear up any issues that might have come up. I feel like I am sticking to what I know, as well, and it might be hindering our chances to expand our learning experiences. I feel like if would have we felt more comfortable using these copyrighted materials appropriately, some of our projects/videos might have come out better than they did because we were just sticking to the simplest versions of what we knew.

It's funny that you mentioned the cost of a DVD being so out of reach because I did the same thing when I heard the DJ Danger Mouse (The Grey Album) being mentioned in the documentary, Good Copy/Bad Copy. I know that in 2005, I was a part of the movement that caught wind of that particular album and, to this day, I think it's amazing. I know that I bought it in 2005, but I'm not too sure where it is. However, when I looked the album up on the Internet, I was shocked to see that you can't find the CD without looking extensively for it and the vinyl version is being sold for $50 on Amazon.com... CRAZY!!! I remember buying a t-shirt and adding a copy of that album onto my order for $5.
