[LM_NET] Copyright and Game Shows

[Susan Schiavetti <sueshe4@COMCAST.NET>]

Hi Everyone,

Once again I seek your collective wisdom.  I have seen many Jeopardy game 
powerpoint templates online and am currently in the process of designing my own for 
teachers in my district to use.  As I did this, I started wondering what the 
copyright implications were.
Can I call the game Jeopardy?
I am assuming I can't use the Jeopardy sound effects.
I have numbers in the squares not dollars.... can I still use 100 - 500?
The game will be used for face to face instruction/review--- however, what are the 
ramifications if we start posting these teacher made games online for students to 
review at home?

Thank you in advance for your advice and input.  I look forward to hearing your 
feelings about this situation and any recommendations you may have.
