Hello bad boy!
I wondered how a pic of my creation was in the recent galleries although I
didn’t upload anything new to my folder :-) I’m glad my creations are
inspiration for you. It would have been nice, though, if you had added a
txt-file with the credits or links to the respective builders and their
folders. I’d like to know who the owners of some of the creations in your
inspiration folder
are.
Thanks

Hi, given the subject matter of the above post, I have a question. I think I
know the answer, but I’ll ask anyway as I’m relatively new to this topic..
What is the protocol for using Images and/or MOCs for Educational purposes? In
other words, do I have to get written permission to use someone else’s MOC in a
lesson? The lesson would probably include some kind of printed handout or
instructions. Of course the work would be credited to the author in my handout.
But I’m concerned whether I need to get formal permission for use in a
classroom first. For example, my students may not be as honest about who
originated the work, which could prove sticky later.
In the past, I have always gotten permission before I presented AFOL stuff in my
class, and I’ve tried to give full credit where credit was due. But this
Semester I’m really expanding the LEGOness of my class, and I was hoping to
include more photos.. Perhaps even post them on a class website. I would have
preferred it if I had written permission from all the authors.. But I don’t
right now. Is this required by law? Or is it just the “right thing to do”?
I know I couldn’t reproduce something off of a commercial website. But if the
work appears in a public forum such as LUGNET or BrickShelf - where they are
provided for sharing - students have access to the images anyway. I suppose I
could just link to them and have the students themselves commit the “crime” - if
there is any.. I’m asking whether the added step of me providing the image in
the context of a class somehow makes me liable if an original author later
cries foul. OR does the fact I’m using it for Education exempt me?
This happens with other forms of info too - for example, if an instructor
Xeroxed something out of a textbook - even something as small as a chart or
graph - and included that in a handout packet, that’s supposed to be illegal.
But it happens all the time in college classes.
Anyone have an opinion/know the facts about this?
Darrell
