In response to Copyright and Citations For Multimedia Sources, edited by Lindsay A Sabatino and Brian Fallon, and written by Molly Schoen and Sarah Blazer, I thought the article was interesting. When I first started reading it, it made me think of all the times that I’ve copied and pasted pictures from google for PowerPoint presentations and never included even a URL to give the authors credit. I’ve never come to think of the “ethical use of multimedia” as stated on page 197. Pictures paintings/ digital projects are just as much as pieces of writing however as a society we have never placed as much emphasis on citing them. I personally think part of the fact we don’t cite them as often as written sources is because images are much more readily accessible through search engines such as a google. This provides even more caution because it’s so easy to fraudulently repost something, talked about on page 202.
I see some ways that UNE students can relate to this article. Particularly in our printing limits I began to think about the time last year when I was observing upperclassmen and COM students photocopying chapters upon chapters for each other. On page 200, Schoen and Blazer talk about students being “within academic confines” (200) and distributing entire copies of books to classmates is not only against the rules, but also, unethical. Similarly, I have seen students include sources from pinterest in projects which Schoen and Blazer also touched on. Additionally, I didn’t know that you’re supposed to dig for the original website that the piece was originally posted on. The most interesting part of the article to me was about reverse image setting. I didn’t know you can google search an image. I always thought you had to type in words to bring up an image. I’m curious when using iMovie how to source the sounds that iMovie already provides.
