Mr. Hamer is tutoring for the functional writing test out of a copyrighted series of work books from
         Houghtin Mifflin. He has 27 students but only 20 books were purchased for his class. The same material
         is available at the HM web page. She prints enough pages for her kids each morning for today's class.
         Mrs. Urdvardy, a music teacher, downloads MP3 files from the Web and uses them to instruct her
         students in the various kinds of music. She allows students to copy the files and take them home, listen
         to them and complete a worksheet.

1)        Well, there are many confusing implications to copyright laws, but I think that this one is the one that is stated the most clearly. It is okay for him to print enough copies for all of his students, however it is not okay that he does this every morning  and that this usage will take away from the money that Houghtin Mifflin should get for their textbooks. Mr. Hamer is avoiding buying the books and is abusing the privelage he has as an instructor because he is only allowed to do it nine times and he can only copy a chapter or ten percent of the actual information.  He is also only allowed to use it for this semester and with these kids.  Mrs. Urdvardy is also infringing copyright laws because she is only allowed to copy ten percent of the musical piece or not enough for a musical unit (an entire played piece).  She can make one copy for the students to listen to in class, but she can't allow them to copy it and take it home with them.
 
 

         Mr. Jamweimer, the parent of one of our 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 download 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.

2) Mr. Jamweimer doesn't own that software, he has only bought a license to use it. He doesn't have permission to give it to the school.  If the program is freeware, then he could copy it for the school, but since he payed for it, I'm pretty sure that it's not.  It is possible, however that he looked into the licensing agreement and that he can give one copy for use on one computer at the school, but that is all.  This software shouldn't be a substitute for purchasing the material and if the school chooses to use the program, then it should pay the company for the licensing agreement.  Basically, it's just rude that the school would use a program that did great things for their students and not give the software the credit.  The money goes to feed the guy who helped get these kids their Nobel Prize status, so the school should be more than willing to give the money to the software company.
