Tracye your post resonated with me in that I too never thought twice about grabbing work offline. The main reason being not because I do not value the work of others, but I was never taught the ins and outs of copyright. I think Creative Commons is one of the best things to come along and I have been using them for my photographs. I think you are right about accountability. If we as educators/administrators hold students accountable for their work, we as educators must be accountable for ours and what we provide to students. Leading by example is the only way. Although the line of what is fair and not fair is quite a blurry one, you are absolutely right that we must at least make the effort.
