Thursday Review: A Copyright Quiz—Do You Know Your Rights? (Part One)

Lately, I’ve seen a lot of discussion about copyright issues. Specifically, what is legal to use on a blog, website or in a book. 

Today, instead of giving you all the facts, I thought we’d have some fun and take a little quiz. 

And to sweeten the pot, I’m offering a copy of the Christian Writer’s Market Guide 2012. Everyone who leaves a comment BEFORE 5pm EST Saturday, March 24, will be entered in a drawing for the book.

And don’t worry, I WILL post the answers next week, in a follow-up post.

4. I can legally use music or a song as background for an original video as long as I credit the source.
