    appropriateness of your use of that work, get permission.
  - Copyright, according to Dictionary.com, is "the legal right granted to an author, a
    composer, a playwright, a publisher, or a distributor to exclusive publication,
    production, sale, or distribution of a literary, musical, dramatic, or artistic
    work."

- "People routinely get away with illegal copying in the classroom for
  the same reason that people get away with speeding on the interstate,"
  said John Adsit, online education coordinator for
  Jefferson County Schools in Golden, Colorado. "There aren't enough
  police watching them."
- Most copyright experts recommend this rule of thumb -- when in doubt,
  assume a work is copyrighted and ask permission to use it. Don't make
  the common mistake of believing that including quotation marks or a line
  of attribution satisfies copyright requirements.
