1. FAIR USE LAWS                                                Factors determining fair use include: *purpose and character of the use * the nature of the copyrighted work. * how much of the work you use * the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

2. COPY RIGHT LAWS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES               *Most information on the Internet is not in the public domain. * Most software, including freeware, is not in the public domain. * A good way to determine whether a multimedia resource is copyright protected or in the public domain is to relate it as closely as possible to a print resource. * Sometimes, asking permission is simply polite, even if you're not legally required to do so!

3. COPYRIGHTS AND COPY WRONGS  *All tangible creative works are protected by copyright immediately upon creation.                         *Quoting or crediting the author of a copied work does not satisfy copyright requirements.            *When in doubt ask permission.

5. DISTRICT LIABILITY AND TEACHING LIABILITY                             *districts are liable for any copyright violations committed by their staff                          *Teachers have an additional responsibility to make sure that students understand the spirit and the letter of copyright law.
