Bloglet-
Posting your child’s finger painting artwork on your refrigerator soon could be copyright infringement in a Maryland county. As reported in the Washington Post article, "Prince George's considers copyright policy that takes owership of students' work," a proposal by Prince George's county public school's Board of Education would give schools copyright ownership in works created by students and teachers in the district.
The proposal is just that, a proposal, and the Washington Post article includes quotes from the Board which may misstate aspects of copyright law in the U.S. However, the article does open up a dialogy to dig deeper into copyright laws and may in the end foster a better understanding and respect for ones creative works.
