Thanks to Damon for pointing out this clever video on Fair Use and Copyright: http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/documentary-film-program/film/a-fair-y-use-tale. The fast cuts become a little repetitive and grating after a while, but it’s very informative and in an interesting format considering our class and our discussion last night on Disney 
Please be careful about using copyrighted images in your stories. You can find a large collection of public domain resources here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain_image_resources. You should also include a list of sources for any images used (though you won’t be penalized if this is missing from Pass 2, please go back and add them in if you haven’t already done so).
WikiMedia Commons is also a great resource and is available here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. You can find additional sources using a Google search for “public domain images” or “public domain music” or “public domain videos” etc.

Hi,
I hope you won’t mind if I add a resource for public domain images. I have hundreds of free images available on my web site which have been scanned from my collection of old books, magazines, and postcards. You can find them at Public Domain Images. Perhaps you’ll find something useful.
