Explore the copyright controversy

You may have heard that there is an interesting copyright dispute between the street artist who created the red/white/blue poster of Pres. Obama and the AP photo service and photographer who generated the original image. The dispute bears on the right of an artist to create something new from an original source and is relevant to all of those interested in mashup type content creation. Tech&Learning is attempting to create a learning activity based on the case and offers both original information sources (the link to the pro position was messed up when I reviewed the lesson) and the opportunity to offer opinions of several case related questions. Aggregated data are made available through Google docs. Of course, the popular vote has no bearing on how the case will be decided. This is a good conversation starter.
