Logie, John. "Champing at the Bits: Computers, Copyright, and the Composition Classroom." Computers in the Composition Classroom. Eds. Michelle Sidler, Richard Morris, and Elixabeth Overman Smith. Boston: Bedford / St. Martin’s, 2008: 135-150. Print.
Copyright and fair use have come to the forefront of the writing classroom with the advent of new technologies. While Logie's article was dated (1998), it's still very much relevant. Not only to writing, but in the expanding definition of composition for many in the field. Even with the fair use clause, there are issues. There have been instances where student work has been taken off you tube for using clips and images that were copyrighted (even though citations were provided). I think that the creative commons site was a good way to give "creators" control, but still allow use within certain limits.
This is the site dedicated to fair use.
