[LM_NET] FanFic (Public Library Question)

[Jill Marks <jmarks@BRANTFORD.LIBRARY.ON.CA>]

One of my staff members would like to develop a YA fan fiction writing
program for teens and then post their works on our Internet site. What
are the copyright issues here - although we are a Canadian library as we
would be using the Internet a variety of jurisdictions would be
involved. Many other sites currently devote themselves to FanFic and it
seems to be accepted.

Comments or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Please forgive any cross posting.
