"mediated instructional activities" -- new Copyright Law

Specifically teachers don't attempt to pass themselves on as
'artists' by usage of others materials. Nor does the law allow
for the 'students' to utilize the received works as a part
of performance, piece of work, etc on their behalf.

Lastly, this hasn't got anything to do with
your statements of 'images not being property'.
The law still acknowledges them as property: it simply states
that the institutions don't have to pay royalty fees, and also
it provides 'increased flexibility'. If the owner doesn't
wish for its work to be used for educational purposes, it may explicitly
state so, and no 'educational institutions' coul have a say in the matter.

And again, you're attempting to use an entirely different apparently
'noble cause' to leverage your imbecility.

If you want to see copyright law in function,
check out the Rene Magritte or Man Ray estates for example.

Ta, idiot.

i didn't say that it did … i was merely applauding the new law.
once again, you make an ass out of yourself with your
misinterpretations.

still working on that one

it simply states

which, IN MY OPINION, is a very cool idea
that needs to be extended
