[ISLMA-Share] Copyright question

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

No, this kind of recording violates copyright.  I checked my handy-dandy
book *Copyright for Schools: a Practical Guide *(4th edition) by Carol
Simpson.  According to the book, "Making a copy of a book by recording it
is the same as making a copy by photocopying it."  The only exception that
might apply is "a special exception to copyright law for handicapped users,
but the person for whom you are recording the book must be blind or
otherwise physically unable to use a book."  It doesn't sound like that
applies to this case.
