Intellectual Property ‘theft’

There have been a spate of recent blog posts about intellectual property theft etc. which have caught my eye.  Rather than copy and paste their contents 😉 I will just credit the authors and offer up links to their blog posts…

Simon Finch was first up with his blog post entitled ‘Proper Tea is Theft’ at http://simfin.wordpress.com/copyright/proper-tea-is-theft/

Secondly came James Clay with his post “Are you stealing stuff?” at http://elearningstuff.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/are-you-stealing-stuff/

They give you something to think about and maybe reflect on your own practices as well as those of your students…
