hi all in re the copying of hymns for church... i would think that use by the choir would entail a 'commercial use' since they are 'official' representatives, if not paid employees of a 'legal entity' - the church itself...??? i sent a question to NandoNet and received a speedy reply: ------------------------------ Subj: copyright regulations Date: 98-05-04 13:22:22 EDT From: [log in to unmask] (Janet313) To: [log in to unmask] ------------------------------ dear nando-net; i would appreciate your advice/input in re copyright restrictions on non-commercial distribution of copies of your articles. specifically, am i permitted, as an individual, to make a copy of a news item from your web-site [either photocopy or e-mail copy] and send it to a friend? for whatever it may be worth your news site is the best i have found on the internet i have been singing your praises since july 1995 best regards janet paterson almonte ontario canada [log in to unmask] ------------------------------ Subj: [Fwd: copyright regulations] (fwd) Date: 98-05-04 13:39:48 EDT From: [log in to unmask] (Seffron) To: [log in to unmask] ------------------------------ Thanks for your note. While, technically, it is a violation of the law for you to do any more than view the articles on Nando.net, it is unlikely that simply making a print-out of an article, would end up in prosecution. I'm sure you've seen those notices about copyright above copy machines in libraries and the like. So, that is the letter of the law. Wholesale copying and redistribution of Nando articles would be a copyright violation and a violation of the very strict agreements that Nando has with its variety of content providers. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- Seth Effron -- Exec. Editor, Nando.net ------------------------------ to me, ''wholesale' has always implied re-distribution for profit i don't see anything here that would make me concerned about my making copies of anything for my friends or family just another cyber-sis janet BEST MED FOR PD IS FAMILY janet paterson 51/10 - sinemet/selegiline/prozac almonte/ontario/canada - [log in to unmask]
