Thisjournal uses scenarios to demonstrate, explain and teach pre-service teachershow complicated copyright is in a digital world. The pre-service teachers investigate two scenarios and go through the process of understanding the implications in regards to copyright. Although American, this academicjournal allows readers to understand that there is a need to teach digitalcitizenship and the importance of understanding copyright in their respective countries. The drawback is if the reader is unfamiliar with the terms “fair use” used in the United States and its Canadian counterpart “fair dealing”, some readers may not realize there is a difference.
