I was incredibly interested at all of the specifics that are involved in the copyright laws. I was also amazed that I have not ever heard most of those laws before. The librarian at my school is very aware of copyright laws and works to enforce it around the school. I have heard her speak a number of times about enforcing copyright laws and she has hung posters at all of the copy machines in the building. I find it fascinating that she has not given us more of the detailed law. For instance, I have hear of the "fair use" portion of the law, but didn't realize the 4 determining factors that define if "fair use" can be applied. I think most educators, or at least the ones that I have worked with translate that to be a blanket statement in the area of education.  I also found the list of things not protected by copyright laws interesting. I had never thought of symbols and designs as not being able to be copyrighted. I also was surprised that titles, names, phrases, and slogans are not covered by this law, but by another.  Once again, I am surprised that through all of my education and professional development that this has not been more clearly spelled out as it was in this text. Copyright laws are definitely addressed, but not to the extent to which they exist.
