Copyright and Fair Use LR
#3- I would be pretty angry if I bought software that wasn't backwards-compatible. In today's world, where technology is always evolving and improving, it's obvious to that everyone will be constantly in the process of updating or upgrading their technology and while in transition, the need for backwards-compatible technology would be essential. ITunes, for example, is a company that is reasonable when it comes to backwards-compatibility. Although some features may not be available or may be slightly altered from version to version, I can still plug in my two-year old IPod into the latest version of the ITunes software and have it work perfectly. If that wasn't the case, I would either have to never update my software or worse, be forced to buy a new IPod every time a new version was released. I feel that backwards-compatibility must be integrated into the plans of the manufacturers every time they release a new product or new software. It is unfair for school systems and students to be penalized when they cannot afford for all of their software to be the latest version.

Copyright and Fair Use QR
#3- I think that it's ridiculous to have software on the market that isn't backwards-compatible, especially at the rate that technology is evolving.
#4- It's very ineffective to mandate that something in public schools be done when the state doesn't have or won't provide the resources to help achieve the task at hand and I feel that the schools should be able to do whatever they have to in order to meet those requirements.
#6 I'm glad that this isn't considered illegal because it would be a real hindrance for teachers getting information to their students if it were.
#7- I was very surprised to see that material that is not copyrighted can still be used on a password protected site.
#14- This is really annoying and frustrating as an RA because this law makes it so that we cannot formally design programs around watching a movie.
#16- I thought for sure that the use of those machines would be illegal as they unblock the copy protection.
#19- It seems rather petty to not allow the yearbook to use the entirety of the songs as it would only lead to more exposure to the general public for the artist's material.
#20- It makes sense for this to be illegal as it's basically a form of bootlegging and relates to personal gain.
