Dear Netters,
    I really feel dumb in writing to you all today, however I really need
help.  Recently, our district is enforcing strict copyright rules (thank God,
it's about time.)  My principal and asst. principal came to me with a
thousand questions about copyright and that I'm going to have to speak about
copyright at a faculty meeting (yuck). Like I said b/f I really feel dumb
asking this question but here goes.  Is the copyright law written by the U.S.
government and not by states?
Is there a website that I can go to and copy the copyright law so at the
faculty meeting I will have ammunition and not look like a dork?
    For years I have been telling my previous principal that he was violating
copyright, but he just put his hand up in the air and had a deaf ear.  Our
teachers now have to sign a paper stating that they are in compliance.  It is
a frightening matter to me.
Thanks,
Michele Knowles
Miami Dade County Public Schools
