The reality of the situation may be, however, that copyright police is one of the many hats we wear. For example, the parent organization may want to use the school and its equipment to host a movie night without aquiring public performance rights. It may fall within the realm of the the media specialist's duties to be the person who says "No." It is important to have district policies (and administrators!) in place that will support the media specialist should this kind of situation occur. This helps us maintain our role as the resident expert on what is allowed under the law, rather than the enforcer of that law.
