Wimba was about our reading from week one copyright. Covering the copyright reading and taking a quiz on various parts including basic copyright, Fair Use and Creative Commons. Professor Bustillo stated that the quiz responses did not show who made each one. I thought about this weeks reading and the fact that professor Bustillo took away our fear of failure because he was grading the quiz. By taking away the fear of failure it makes it easier to answer the questions.
I thought the discussions during Wimba were great. Dwayne commented about the movie RIP Remix manifesto that was also about copyright. He stated it was a good movie and the artist Girl talk who was in it was also in Good Copy Bad Copy.
Dwayne also had a great idea about blanket coverage for education. I think that would be great for schools and teachers. Artist would get additional recognition from more people id additional teachers could use their work in class. I think teachers and schools would benefit from this idea because some teachers either chooses to ignore or do not truly understand copyright laws. I know that teachers show complete movies in class and do not think it is wrong. This same act was mentioned in Wimba and I would be surprised if everyone in our class knew it was a violation of copyright laws.

Thanks for reviewing the wimba session. I like how you put the idea that artists would get additional recognition if they supported blanket licenses. Funny, that's kind of how Apple became so strong in education in the 1970s was by promoting and cutting deals with school districts, knowing that when students who had used Apples throughout school, would be likely to continue to use Apple computers when they bought computers for themselves. Interesting thought...
