Hello Readers!
Recently, I have learned about copyright, and whether a source is fair use or not. These are main problems that pose a problem when writing a paper or any other informational document.
Information that is being copyrighted is a crime. You must ensure that you give credit to the author by citing your source. One may face serious consequences when caught in the act of copyrighting information. Many websites include something that claims the information as their or giving credit to whomever they got it from.
Fair use is an important factor when using a research paper. Citing sources comes up here again. I cannot ever stress the importance of citing sources. You must do this in order to ensure fair use. If you do not do so, you will be punished and the information is not fair use. This will result in punishment. This could have easily been prevented if you took a minute to complete such an easy task.  
In conclusion, always cite your sources. Doing this simple task will prevent much trouble. Always remember to give credit to the owners or owners of the information you are using.
My friends and I created a short 35 second video that you should go check out! You can find it on Youtube. The link for the information is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0CkSqvJ-HA&feature=youtu.be

  1. Nice Video! I like how you mention that it is never to late to cite your sources, and if you forget, you should always go back and correct in anyway. Citing your resources is one of the most important parts of writing a research paper or doing a project.

  2. Great insight Zach! I like how you stated that citing information is extremely important when writing research papers. I know Mr. Pilola is picky about citing stuff in English class. You have been warned.
