Teacher: You can't copy the music from that CD that you bought because it would be breaking copyright law<br>Student: But I bought the CD it's my property, I can do what I want with it<br>Teacher: No you can't, it is your property but it's not legal to make another copy of your property because that would deprive the company the privilege of selling that new copy to a new customer
<br>Student: But I just want to copy it for my own use. And, at any rate what sort of weirdo would I be if I don't share my music with my friends? (thinks to self: this teacher is weird)<br>Teacher: I realise that but the law doesn't take that into account
<br>Student: But that's stupid<br>Teacher: Part of my job is to teach respect for the law. At any rate it's out of my hands, the network manager has refused to copy the music file that you bought. <br>Student: But the law is stupid
<br>Teacher: ?????????<br><br>So this is how we teach copyright law and respect for the law in school?<br><br>-- <br>Bill Kerr<br><a href="http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/">http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/</a><br><a href="http://www.users.on.net/~billkerr/">

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I have had a student approach me about converting a file from a music cd(which he has purchased legitamitely) to a mp3 so that he can use the music on a photostory project. The network manager at my school tells me that this is illegal. Can anyone throw any light on this issue?
