Copyright laws and English class

As an English teacher, I think I would mostly be concerned with the print aspect of copyright laws. With all of the technology out there today it is becoming all too easy to simply copy and paste someone's work off the internet and use it as your own. Plagiarism has always been a factor in writing papers, so I think an English teacher should stress the consequences that come along with plagiarism.

Although I think print laws are the most important, I think all teachers should find a way to teach students about all copyright laws. It is so simple to download illegal music from the Internet and this is one of the most common copyright violations, so teacher should try to encourage their students not to do this!
