Okay, okay, maybe I'm a bit obsessed with the issue of copyright laws and their impact on teaching film/TV (see my previous post about using copyrighted videotapes), but a potentially significant case against Kinko's photocopiers has, I believe, just been resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court. The case focuses on Kinko's course packets--the collections of essays that many of us have come to rely upon for efficient teaching. (How well I remember myown undergraduate days when I would buy 15 books for a single course and read only a chapter from each.) I don't know the details. Can anybody fill me in? ---------- Hear that lonesome whippoorwill? He sounds too blue to fly.
