It's a moot point since I /would/ ask permission to use someone's
slides. I just wouldn't go to the effort to confront someone using mine.
I don't feel conflicted about calling students on plagiarism when they
copy&paste from websites to create a paper. If I did borrow slide shows
without permission or attribution I would feel conflicted.
I also think that, rather than use that legal knowledge obtained from
many seasons of Law and Order to play TV lawyer on the net, I would like
to see some official loosening of the copyright standards. One such
effort can be seen here http://eldred.cc/ at the Save Orphan Works site.
This is from that site:
*What are orphan works?*
Orphan works are — broadly speaking — any copyrighted works where the
rights holder is hard to find. Because the cost of finding the owner
is so high, creators can't build on orphan works, even when they'd be
willing to pay to use them. In many cases the works were abandoned
because they no longer produced any income. In most cases, rights
holders, once found, are delighted to have their work used.

Of course as the copyright holder you have the right to freely
distribute all of your material. However, if you were the one
borrowing the slides as described on this thread, what would you say
to your students who, in studying for a test using Google, came across
the original slides with correct attribution and they wanted to know
how what you have done is any different from what you taught them is
plagiarism? I hope no one is mirroring anyone’s interactive plagiarism
exercise without proper attribution.

Personally, if anyone wanted to use my slides I'd be happy to let
them. I would prefer that they asked first, but, I'm for the giving
away of psychology, lectures and all. I wouldn't confront anyone who
appropriated my slides for educational use.
