1. There are not limitations on the amount of pictures, music, and videos that you can use in a multimedia project.
2. No you don't have to request permission from the original creator in order to use copyrighted material in a multimedia project for a school related assignment. People must cite everything used though to give credit to the owner of the piece. If it is not cited correctly or at all, it is like you are stealing their work; which isn't right. So CITE!
3. There are some principles that educators need to follow to ensure their digital story projects fall under Fair Use guidelines. Two questions that teachers can ask theirselves are: "Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original? [and] Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?" (Author 7). If the teachers answer yes to these questions, they are good to use the materials they are using under Fair Use.Teachers shall use DVDs, videos, CDs, music, etc to incorporate it into their lessons, using material like this and using it for promotional reasons is what gets teachers in trouble.
4. I had not heard about any of the eighth myths before, probably because I have never heard of the term 'Fair Use' before reading this article.
