Sadly to say, I never thought much about copyright when I was teaching.  Sure, I know not to copy text books.  And maybe that is because copiers tend to have warnings posted on them.  And every video comes with a warning, so that seems to be drilled in my head not to copy them.  I learned a lot during this lesson.  I have gotten worked up with Etsy and how it seemed that people have violated copyrights with using song lyrics on some on their designs.  Well, I guess, depending on the when the song was written, status of the author, it may not be a copyright violation.  I think as a teacher I could make sure my students have a better understanding of copyright laws and the impact it has.  With modern day artists removing their music from free download sites, it would be an easy way to facilitate discussion.
