"Copyright and Fair Use LR"

1. The state mandates technology proficiency for all high school students but adds no money to schools' software budgets. To ensure equity, public schools are allowed to buy what software they can afford and copy the rest.

False. Some interpretations of the 11th Amendment of the Constitution suggest that state schools may in fact be exempt from copyright prosecutions. However, following the guidelines encourages software and hardware makers to keep making quality products for us to buy.


This is somehting that I did not know. I don't understand how this fully works. I feel like they would make them pay one big fee to put on their computer. I do understand the updating a lot because than the school has to upgrade and buy more products every so often. I guess I wasn't as 'heated' about this one and it isn't very 'juicey' its's just I want to learn more about it! I am intregued really!
