How does fair use apply to computer programs? If videos can only be used for instructional purposes, does the same standard apply for computer games? I walked into a classroom today and found several students playing a computer game. There was one disk, loaded on one computer, so I'm not worried about that part of the copyright question. I certainly question the validity of playing games during school time (they were finished with their work and were receiving a "reward") but if I'm going to question this teacher's use of time it must be from a copyright standpoint, not from a educational standpoint.
