Copyright and Fair Use for Students

Once again, refer to this website for references for what is acceptable use for students

I've broken copyright laws. I'll admit it. However, I feel that unless you do not give credit for someone's work, it isn't quite stealing. Also, if you don't sell it or try to pass it off as your own, I don't believe it's technically wrong. Okay, so it is. But sometimes, you just have to do it.

I can't find one college student that's never photocopied an entire article out of a journal, or a handout for a whole class, or a teacher doing the same thing. Would be an interesting thing to do research on.
