Rented VCR Films
Films rented for use with a video cassette recorder will be used in the
classroom for education purposes only. No rented film that includes a
notice that the film is intended for "home use only" will be shown to a
class for entertainment purposes.
Computer Software
Unless otherwise provided in the purchase agreement, a purchased
computer program will not be used as a "master" to make copies. A
computer program may be legally copied only if:
- Making a copy is an essential step in using the
program (such as automatic copying into memory when a program is
loaded); or
- The new copy is a backup; backups cannot be used
simultaneously with the original and must be erased if the original is
resold.
District employees will not use networking and booting
to accomplish multiple simultaneous use of a program without permission
or unless the purchase agreement allows a specified multiple use of the
single copy.
Definitions -
"Networking" is the process of using a single program in a single
terminal that is connected to other terminals, permitting the program to
be used simultaneously in more than one computer.
"Booting" is the process of loading a program into a
computer terminal. Multiple use can be accomplished by loading the same
program into several different terminals.
