[LM_NET] TARGET: copyright and photos

[Susan Guerrant <sguerrant@ALBEMARLE.ORG>]

I have students who are preparing a presentation for  History Day
competition.  They will be using photos from government sites and giving
credit and citing appropriately.  These presentations will not be posted on
the web.  My understanding of fair use tells me that such educational use of
these photos is  fine.  However, a person from our DOE told a participating
teacher that they were not.  I know there are some real  experts out
there--please advise.  Thank you.
