Re: please help: case law re: mult copies classroom use,non-profit
Melissa, I recommend the
University of Texas System website as a
place to start:
http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/IntellectualProperty/copypol2.htm#rules
and
http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/IntellectualProperty/copypol2.htm#course
which
specifically addresses coursepack copying
by non-profit on campus copy shops.
Good
luck,
Laura
