I agree with the above. After spending time talking to all our year 7 groups about internet searching and taking notes from the information they find, we spent time talking about plagiarism of the text and then went on to images. All classes were really interested in the discussions and, from their comments, developed a good understanding about what was legal and/or morally right. I definitely got the impression that they all wanted to be legal and to do the right thing. To this aim I am creating a page on our intranet that gives kids easy access to materials in Creative Commons, Wikimedia Commons and FlickrCC. My belief is if they can find the material in the public domain etc. they will use it as their first choice. Now if I can only change the habits of some of the teachers!
