We like to think that because we're using media for educational purposes that anything on the internet is fair game, but that's not the case. Plenty of school districts have been held liable for copyright violations (examples include Sussex Tech settles lawsuit for $95,000 and Cheerleading and Dance Squad Music: Copyright Law Issues). Pixsy is a website that is helping individuals find where their images are being used online and seek compensation for unauthorized use.
