Today’s objectives

• Explain how ease of access to digitized material raises intellectual property concerns, and what makes a use plagiarism (LO IOC-1.F)
• Match a reuse of someone else's material to Creative Commons, open source, or open access — and explain why citing is still required (LO IOC-1.F)
• Identify legal and ethical concerns computing raises beyond copyright — harm, political use, the digital divide, and monitoring (LO IOC-1.F)

Bell ringer

For a class project, a student remixes three found ingredients: a hit song clipped from a streaming app, a photographer's sunset photo saved from a blog, and a code snippet copied from an online forum.

For EACH ingredient: is using it allowed? If not — invent a rule, tag, or deal that WOULD make it allowed. Write your three rulings and your invented fixes.

Stop and think

1. Your bell-ringer remix used a song, a photo, and a code snippet. Name the intellectual-property owner of each ingredient — and of the finished remix itself. What does that last answer tell you?
2. A classmate argues that copying a digital song is harmless since the original owner still has their copy. Using the CED's three concerns — ownership, value, and use — explain what the argument misses.
3. State the two things that must BOTH be true for a use of someone else's material to count as plagiarism, and name what plagiarism can cost beyond a grade.

AP TIP: 'It was Creative Commons' answers permission only — a response that stops there and never credits the creator is incomplete.

Stop and think

1. Return to your three bell-ringer rulings. For each ingredient, name the real legal route (or needed permission) that matches the fix you invented — and state the one duty no route removes.
2. A friend says: 'The library I used is open source, so I don't have to mention it anywhere in my project.' Which half of the friend's claim is right, which half is wrong, and per which rules?
3. In one sentence each, distinguish open source from open access — name what KIND of material each route covers and what it lets you do.

Stop and think

1. A hiring app quietly ranks applicants using an algorithm trained mostly on past employees. IOC-1.F.11 example this matches and state one legal and one ethical concern it raises.
2. A city moves a public benefit to online-only applications. Using the CED's language, explain which concern this raises and for whom — even though no one's property was touched.
3. Streaming and download software appears on the CED's concern list. Connect it to Section 1: which intellectual-property concerns does effortless streaming and downloading create?
