Crawling Up on My Soapbox It will continue to happen until a major studio, producer, or actor/actress takes at least one school in every state in the nation to court and wins. Then maybe the board of education and the administrators through their state organizations will finally get a clue, because it might cost them some money or their jobs. But on the other hand I'm sure it will be another case of the "left w@#*, liberal <mailto:l*^$#@l> , p#*ko <mailto:p@*ko> Hollywood establishment" picking on good-old Americans.

How 'bout YOU? Good on you Bonnie - exactly what I thought too. I do hope Jeff's message doesn't come back to bite him. When one of my teachers came for a video to keep the kids quiet last week (we finished on Friday 16th) I just kept saying "It's against copyright law." I was ignored but I was heard. I won't refuse to lend something because I will not be the copyright police, but, at least here, if someone overrides your warning of a copyright breach, you don't get prosecuted if they do. I'm sure most staff members know my mantra by heart now, so I figure I've covered myself. I noticed that others were avoiding having me prick their consciences by bringing their own videos in, thus circumventing the library, but at least they KNOW so it is their responsibility which standards they choose to set for the kids.
