Editor's Notes
7. Consumable works= workbooks 8. The copies should include a notice of copyright acknowledging the author of the work.
A teacher needs four extra copies of a book for classroom use. Copies are made of thebook in its entirety.This violates the copyright law because employees may not copy as a substitute forpurchasing a book.A teacher wishes to teach the concept of sequencing. To help students visualize theprocess, the teacher copies a picture book for each student and mixes up the pages. Thestudents are then asked to put the pages in the correct sequence.This violates the limit on brevity. Only two pages may be copied from a picture book.
