[LM_NET] Renee Hobbs and Copyright Clarity

[Diana Greenleaf <dgreenleaf@WINDHAMSD.ORG>]

Have any of your districts adopted the approach to copyright and fair use
laid out in the book Copyright Clarity by Renee Hobbs? I attended a
meeting of the technology integration staff in my district yesterday and
one of them is reading the book and anxious to adopt many of her
opinions/procedures on using the intellectual property of others. She
apparently did a multi-year study which was funded by the John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.  I haven't read the book yet, but from
the conversation yesterday it sounds like a much more liberal
interpretation of fair use than what I have always read about here on
LM-NET and in other journals and books. I realize things are evolving
rapidly and just wonder what other districts are doing.

Thanks for any information you can give me.
