Case 1, Scenario 2

In this scenario, Kenzie should be worried about copyright infringement, because she is
using copyrighted works, and attempting to make a profit. There is some ambiguity present,
because it is unknown exactly how much of the songs and video clips she used in her
PowerPoint. With that said, because Kenzie is trying to make a profit, and her work includes the
work of others without expressed permission, it is very likely that she has violated copyright
laws.
Creative Commons would definitely be an option for Kenzie if she wants to legally share
this work with others. Through Creative Commons, she will be able to allow other teachers to
have access, thereby benefitting other people, but she will not make a profit on the work. The
reason that this would be permissible is because it is still for an educational purpose if it is being
shared with other teachers, and is educational in nature. There is still a lack of clarity, because if
Kenzie used too much of one of the songs or videos, then she could be infringing on the right to
profit for the owners of those materials. Again, more likely than not, it is likely that Kenzie
would be able to use Creative Commons to share her creations for other teachers who could use
them.
