Educators pan web copyright proposal

Cabot writes “Six national education groups don’t like proposed changes to copyright laws, saying they hinder web use for teaching purposes. Educators say limiting access to the internet will prohibit students from developing skills they need. They want an amendment to the rules allowing teachers and students use of publicly available web material.

    Keep it free and valid
    Speaking as one who is very close to the U.S. primary educational system, I advocate few, if any limits on student’s access to information. What educators need to remember (and so instruct their students) is that just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s better. Conversely, just because one attaches a monetary value to something that previously had none doesn’t mean it’s better. Ensure that there is a focus on the validity of the information found before attaching any strings to it. My $0.02.
