Copyright confusion is running rampant in American schools, and not just among the students. The teachers don't know what the hell is going on, either, and media literacy is now being "compromised by unnecessary copyright restrictions and lack of understanding about copyright law."

That's the conclusion of a new report from the Center for Social Media at American University. Researchers wanted to know if confusion over using copyrighted material in the classroom was affecting teachers' attempts to train students to be critical of media. The answer was an unequivocal "yes."

One teacher, for example, has his students create mashups that mix pop music and news clips to comment on the world around them. Unfortunately for the students, the school "doesn't show them on the school's closed-circuit TV system" because "it might be a copyright violation."

Schools should be allowed to show these to oter students.
