11. COPYRIGHT CASE During the 2005–2006 school year, a large and affluent school district with large media programs for the students running their own cable station, was insistent that they were operating within the guidelines of “Fair Use,” using only portions of songs, not for profit.

12. COPYRIGHT CASE (CONT.) The district personnel did not understand the proper meaning of “Fair Use,” and were forced to explain their actions to authorities. Although sure that their “Fair Use” explanation would hold up, the district was cited in 38 various law suits totaling over $30 million. Upon further research, the authorities also discovered peer-to-peer sharing of illegal music files among students, and filed separate lawsuits against the parents of guilty students. One girl had shared over 5,000 illegal downloads, and her current fine is at $3 million.
