We are facing an interesting legal problem here. Our curriculum director
and the director of technology do not understand the legality of
copyrights when it comes to placing databases on a wan. They are not
conserned about placing programs that have a linces that allows us to
access the program on a set number of workstations on a wan when the
district gets one up and running. Does anyone know of any court cases, or
other legal ramifications that have made the "news" that we could present
to our administrators? TIA
