Cautionary tales for trainers?

As part of an article dealing with copyright issues for managers in the training field, I would like to include some relevant guidelines or cautionary tales... for example, ways to obtain permission, or examples of how organizations have rushed in where the better-informed might have feared to tread.

Some possible areas of interest to the target audience: making copies of magazine articles or book chapters, use of recorded music to set a theme (either with or without multimedia images), Internet-related issues (linking to other sites, use of graphics off web sites), use of video in training sessions, items related to distance learning techniques like CD- or web-based training, teleconferences, and so forth.

I'm already aware of resources like the Copyright Office, Terry Carroll's FAQs, the Brad Templeton and Benedict O'Mahoney websites, Brinson and Radcliffe's intellectual property primer. I'd be grateful for any suggestions that related to the concerns of training directors and the organizations for which they work.

Regards,
Dave Ferguson
