I'm in an interesting dialog with another photo archive about copyright, public domain and how it applies to digital scans of photos that themselves are clearly in the public domain. The problem with all of this is that it usually takes a lawsuit to figure it out and most of us are trying to avoid that, aren't we? But educators' rights are slowly being whittled away because they are afraid. As for the government, they tend to be on the side of the copyright owners unfortunately.

I've been reading a fair amount about some more liberal views of fair use in educational settings. It's depressing to see how much fear and misinforamtion is associated with the topic. It really seems like we (our country/government) need to clean this up in a more measured way. Not that I expect a reply but I wrote to Google via their submission form regarding the copyright.
