Oinkers!

This past week in journalism, we have been learning about copyright law and how many people have no idea about what it is. I sadly learned that I, was one of those people.

I learned that most of my life, I had been stealing images off of google like everyone else. Now I know to use some of the websites to help me find legal images. 

 

The reason I picked a picture a pig is because I have always loved pigs. I grew up watching Winnie the Pooh. I rapidly grew fond of Piglet, along with Kanga and Roo.

Every time I see a baby pig, I get so excited! They just seem like they are fun to play with. Also, piglets seem like they would be soft. I believe I have touched and seen one in real life once or twice. I’d love to go see another or maybe even have my own!

Because I love pigs so much, I found a picture of a piglet on Photo Pin. I was trying to find a picture of Piglet off of Winnie the Pooh, but I figured that most of them would be copyrighted by Disney or their affiliates.

I learned in my journalism class that you should only use legal pictures from approved websites, unless you would want to be in trouble with the law. If you use a picture without permission, you are stealing someone else’s photo. You can’t just pick one off of Google like most people do.

A Little About Me

Here is a little about me…

 

I am a freshman in high school. I am always nervous when I walk down the halls with upperclassmen, even though I know half of them. I really enjoy school and I love band. I play the saxophone and I am currently sitting fourth chair out of seventh.

Outside of band, I really don’t have a life. I am a normal teenager who loves music, movies, her friends.

I hope you’ll enjoy keeping up with my ideas and my crazy life! Let’s do this thing!
