Share This Letter With Students to Show Them the Cost of Copyright Infringement
Getting students, and some teachers, to understand the importance of honoring copyright restrictions can be a challenging task. A while back Richard Byrne's found this letter written by Alex Wild and published in Scientific American that does a fantastic job of explaining how to handle an infringement on your copyrighted works. The letter also serves as a lesson to teachers and students who aren't aware of the real implications of just right-clicking and saving images found online. Pay particular attention to sections four and five of the letter.
