Copyright Activity

Mr. Jamweimer, the parent of one of your most intellectual students, has paid to download a wonderful computer software program for his little Einstein. Mr. Jamweimer wants "our school" to be the best and sends a copy of the downloaded file to be used by the students on the computers at school. P.S. all of the kids use it and win Nobel prizes in science, literature, physics, chemistry, and playground.

While this is a great idea, this is not allowable because the parent has made a copy of software for the school. If he were willing to buy another copy for the school, then it could be accessible to all of the students. This would be allowable if the program was only used by one person at a time.

A teacher in your school (who has a really rowdy bunch of monsters) makes an agreement with them that they learn how to make Power Point presentations on sports, war, hunting, rock music and such. She lets them get graphics from anywhere on the Internet. She recommends sites such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN, DOD, Rock Music Hall of Fame. They make great presentations and become great kids. What are the copyright implications??

This would be okay because the images would be used for non-commercial use within a classroom. The number of images should be limited to only a few images. This way there would be no effect on the market because only a few graphics were shown within the classroom.
