Abstract
In this study, undergraduate and graduate college students who upload online video were asked to describe their practices and attitudes on using copyrighted material to make new work and on the value to them of their own copyright. They showed themselves universally under-informed and misinformed about the law. Respondents often incorporated copyrighted material into their productions and rarely consulted owners for permission. They also expressed a variety of binary, good-bad categories within which to order their choices to use copyrighted material. They lacked the ability to discriminate situationally, apparently for lack of knowledge about the situations within which they legally can use copyrighted material without attribution.
