Last and this week, in class we looked at copyright issue. This is very tricky thing, as very often it's unclear who is right and who isn't.
About blogs and websites and copyright: if you use someone elses images, video or info, you always have to acknowledge them in some way, as if not, that means that you would be stealing their work, and it might end badly for you.
Imagine situation: you wrote book, and showed to a friend, she loved it, and later, few years after, you find your book published, by your friend. What would you feel? Exactly, id you use someone else's work without referencing them, they will feel the same, so respect them.
Copyright is indeed tricky question, as some people say that content they use should be free, others, that people worked on it hard, so they have right to get money from it. Nowadays lots of people want free information, programs etc. so just be careful not to abuse power you have and always reference someone else's work.
