[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9314840, member: 177"] We get "strong pushback" on the idea that the world is round. If you are not going to be satisfied unless "strong pushback" is eliminated, you're going to be disappointed. They don't have to ask, because Fair Use covers educational use. It is a special case that is very specifically and explicitly carved out in copyright law. [I]"...the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." - [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_17_of_the_United_States_Code']17 U.S.C.[/URL] [/I][URL='https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107'][I]§ 107[/I][/URL] Were you not aware of this? In an art class, a teacher can find a frame from Disney's [I]Pocahontas[/I] online, make a big poster of it to put up in class, and ask all their students to reproduce it in oils as a practice in color use, and that's perfectly legal - both the poster and the student's copies - and the House of Mouse couldn't touch them. Selling those paintings would make it no longer be Fair Use. [/QUOTE]
