copyright case

Greenberg vs. National Geographic Society (NGS)
http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/copyright/copyrightcases/index.cfm#green

Greenberg and the National Geographic Society went to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the eleventh circuit on June 7th (the year was not given). American Library Association (ALA) and library associations have a long history with this case. This case involves 1 CD-ROM that has photo scanned images of the entire National Geographic magazine from the year 1888 to 1996 in searchable format.

National Geographic magazine was sued by freelance photographers and writers for copyright infringement because some of their works are included in the CD-ROM that the National Geographic Society produced. A lower court found that the publication on the CD-Rom was allowed under the copyright act, but the U.S court appeals for the eleventh circuit revised the rule against the NGS.

In conclusion Greenberg’s case had major implications for projects that include pictures from famous people and scholar’s works. He proved that the public may have access to those materials.

I went to the netsmartz page and watched tracking Teresa. The information she gave out was her name but only her first name. people could tell that she was a girl because her name is Teresa. When people were looking foe her they found all of this information. She has a valid email address and instant messenger.People were looking for things about her and found what time of day she will be home, her mom or sisters name is sue,and her home phone number. People know her last name because of her phone number.People know where her school is and where her house is.

Yes i have put personal information on the internet.

Common sense is the most important thing to remember when using the internet.

The second video i watched was Julie's journey. She met a 56 year old man on the internet. she wasn't supposed to be talking to him but she did because she was mad at her parents. They kept talking and they were building a relationship. Julie ran a way for 3 weeks with the man. They were caught and the man had to go to jail for 25 years.Julie was lucky because she could have been killed. She wasn't killed but it made her realize that running away was not the answer.
