Email Copyright

[GARY E JOSEPH <ksw_joseph@K12.MEC.OHIO.GOV>]

        In the November issue of the magazine from the National Education
Association, NEA Today, there was an article about copyright.  The article
is titled: What's Wrong To Copy Under Copyright?
        I thought members of this listserv might like to know what was
said about Email.  The question posed asked:
        "As part of an E-mail discussion group, you receive a teaching
tip. You print it out and distribute 30 copies at an in-service training.
Is this an infringment of copyright?
        The answer:  "YES.  All E-mail is protected by copyright. You need
the sender's permission to make copies and display the message publicly.

        Just food for thought.
