[Elfsea] service to the dream video

[Marsh, Vicki]

Yes, Sfi, I know about Fair Use. I just attended a seminar that covered
copyright information for educators - again.

Yes, you can make a copy of one that you bought and take it to work to view
*with* friends.  You can actually make two copies, just like with software,
to use as back-up and to protect your initial copy.

  There are a lot of little nuances to this particular aspect of handling
anyone's creative ideas and work.  That's what keeps copyright lawyers in
business.

However, the basic message of what I wrote is still very much in order in
respect to the first message.

	It's more complex than that.  If you make a copy (for
example) to take to an event and show people because you don't
want to risk losing a copy, that's OK.  If you lend a copy to
someone for a few days, that's ok.  It's covered under fair
use.
	Making massive numbers of copies and distribute them,
that's not ok.
	Basically, if you are using the material in a manner
where only one copy is being viewed at a time (making a copy
for home and for your demo kit, etc.), you have the right to do
so.
	Ailgenan's example does not fall under fair use unless
he buys ONE copy for himself.

This is not the Dream.  This is what I do on weekends to have some fun.

The Dream involves 4 sets of identical twins, 2 gallons of Cool
Whip, 5 quarts of chocolate syrup, 2-1/4 pounds of strawberries,
satin sheets, a magnum of champagne, a trapeze, and a python.
