Summary: This 6+ minute animated video is a bit humorous and appealing to upper elementary and middle school students. I may even be used at the college level to review students' understanding of these concepts. It explains fair use and copyright laws in basic terminology. The description calls it a "crash course" and this is true. The information is elementary, yet it gives a clear outline for beginning to understand what fair use and copyright mean when using other people’s work.

Evaluation: This video is useful for introducing how to legally use reference materials in research. The practice of writing things "in your own words" so information isn't misused can be described with this video. The language is fast paced and the audience may require the short video be paused to review or discuss vocabulary and concepts. Included in the video are suggestions for whom to contact if the user is unclear about the laws.
