MODULE THREE - Copyright

Just quickly before I begin, I want to point out that I haven't done the optional tasks. I know that of course optional means you can choose whether or not you do it, but I think it's good for my learning. However I'm so time deprived with work, school and finding room mates that I'm purposely skipping these not because I don't want or am too lazy to do them, but because I like to sleep a little bit before the sun comes up :-)

Anyway as for the Curtin logo. I struggled to find good solid information on this, so I resorted to a little commonsense and the WebCT discussion board. I don't think I can rewrite my thoughts any better so here's what I wrote there:

• 
  "I think that it would be in breach of copyright, because by placing that logo on your assignment you are in a way passing it off as officially endorsed by Curtin. So to me this means that you are 'selling' your essay to people as though it is part of the Curtin 'brand', which in fact means you are stealing curtin's good reputation to use as your own."
  

Have I used copyrighted materials before? Well sure probably in my own personal stuff. But in my work not at all.
