if you put something on line where the students need a password to get in then the constraints are minimalized (no one cares). without this, can't be done ken On 1/20/11 3:07 PM, Darrell Newton wrote: > While we're on the subject, what has been everyone's experiences with copyright issues, as they relate to e-reserves? > > We have recently begun incorporating course enhancements for our 4-credit hybrid classes.

I'm in the closing stages of writing a book on The Waltons and am writing about fans, and specifically fan literature. I was hoping to quote some poetry posted on a forum by a fan. She has claimed copyright on the works and my request for her permission to quote short passages in my book has been declined. Where do I stand insofar as fair use is concerned now that permission has been refused: does fair use override such a refusal so far as very short passages are concerned or does the refusal establish an absolute prohibition on quoting? > > I'd really like to put some of this material in the book but I suspect the author of these poems is precisely the kind of person to get litigious, and getting sued in the States is not a risk I can afford to take. > > Regards, > > Mike Chopra-Gant > > ---- > Learn to speak like a film/TV professor!
