On the other hand fair use gives people the right to use parts of copyrighted products under certain circumstances.

With students, I would educate them on what copyright and fair use is and encourage them to follow by these concepts as closely as possible so they are ready for using these concepts outside of class.     Academic dishonesty is a major issue for schools with the implementation of technology because of how accessible information can be during activities that requires only student knowledge.
