[LM_NET] GEN: copyright question

[Nancy Kershner <nkershner@SBC.EDU>]

The principal and one of our special ed. teachers are interested in playing
educational songs (from Schoolhouse Rock and others) over the school intercom
after the morning announcements.  They are interested in playing songs
pertaining to our state standards and having a "song of the week".  Would this
be within fair use guidelines?  If not, do we contact the recording company for
permission or BMI or ASCAP or whom?
