We have tried to select articles that will be useful and helpful to you in a variety of situations.  First and foremost, we have tried to select articles that will supplement your teaching efforts. Feel free to re-print any article that you wish to distribute to your class for extra reading, discussion or for use as a project. We have found that many teachers use the content in SVN as their primary teaching resource:  Thank you!

Not all articles that have appeared in SVN are available or desirable for re-print. Articles such as event coverage, our Necessories articles, or press releases do not lend themselves to re-print status.  However, if you have an article that you would like, please email us at [email protected] and we will gladly prepare it for you.

I really hated kicking off the 2008 school year with such an exciting topic based on reading a software license.  (Yes, I am being sarcastic, and please do remember I am from the south, so colorful sarcasm is a part of my culture).  After so many exiting titles and articles of mine such as “Video at MySpace or Yours” and “Making Video History”, I was thinking – great, I get to welcome everyone back to school by giving them tips on what to look for in a software license.

Do you need to be concerned about using copyrighted music in your productions? Absolutely. The probability of even a private citizen being sued for copyright infringement increases all the time. The recent fury over unauthorized copying of music files is the latest instance of copyright holders using the Copyright Act to enforce their rights. In the last few months, multi-national corporations have sued children. If you produce videos that you will sell, broadcast or show in a public setting, it's wise to be concerned about copyright.
