Copyright and remix

What do we tell our students to best foster creativity without breaking the law?

I don't know. I now know more about the origins and development of copyright law from looking at the sources in this module, particularly the talks by Larry Lessig. I know from my teaching experience about fair dealing of copies for educational purposes (up to 10% of a work). I know we have never just used 10% of a sonnet in a classroom. I know that plagiarism in assignments used to be really hard and time consuming since it took just as long to copy using a pen as it did to summarise using your own words. Were Warhol's soup can prints a remix? I know I'll have to keep searching for answers.
