Copyright Question Of The Month
Q: My district is in the process of reviewing and updating its copyright policy to include references to today's technologies and the implications of the TEACH Act 2002. Do you have any recently rewritten policies that you would be willing to share?
A: Your copyright policy should only say that you will abide by federal copyright law. the law changes about twice a year, and more often if you count common law court decisions. It is your procedures that should change when the law changes, not your policy.
