The copyright laws are rather complex to understand but are very important. I must admit I probably have violated some copyright laws with my music classes. I have never downloaded music illegally and I never will. For what it costs to download a song it is not worth the risk of getting caught. It only requires a little change and one can download legally any song one wants.

I love the music resource Soundzabound available on Iowa AEA Online because it has royalty free music  students and teachers can freely use. Without the concern about copyright enfringment, students can give 100% of effort towards creativity using sound affects.

My understanding of copyright laws is limited depending on to what it is applied. After taking this class I am more aware of how encompasing the laws are.  For my use, I will always choose AEA Online resources for usable information because I know it is credible and approved for usage.
