The U.S. Copright Office just created some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.copyright.gov\/1201\/\">new policy regarding copyright<\/a> and I have started to read speculation as to what this means for educators.\u00a0 What the changes appear to address are the rights of anyone who purchases content to circumvent protection measures for the purpose of more flexible PERSONAL access. It does not appear to me that there has been any change in what represents fair use. So, for example, I can now use Handbrake to legally move a video I have purchased from a DVD to my desktop computer and then to move the movie to my iPod for viewing. I have circumvented the protection to offer myself a different viewing option.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I could record the audio output from a Kindle if I would rather listen to a book than read it (or if I was unable to read it).<\/p>\n<p>What is allowed certainly seems logical and simply allows practices that are already common. As described these allowances do not change revenue opportunities for providers, but allow access alternatives for consumers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_2831\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"2831\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/learningaloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I seem to always find myself taking a conservative position on copyright issues and I find myself in much the same position today.
