[LM_NET] TARGET: COPYRIGHT with taping

["Wenzel, Donna" <DWENZEL@PAPLV.ESU3.ORG>]

Is it a copyright violation to tape sections of a textbook for a student with an 
IEP if the student has a print copy of the textbook issued to them?   Is it 
acceptable for a student to record a fiction book onto tape (or CD or into an iPOD 
shuffle) to use in literature circles if the student has a print copy of the book 
in his hands?  If a library has a cassette of a book, can a CD be made if the 
cassette is archived and not circulated?  I was at a technology convention recently 
where there was a demonstration of how iPods can be used with reading and some of 
these questions came up.   I am getting different answers from varying sources.  If 
you answer, could you give me the authoritative source for your answer-one that 
would hold up in court!!
