| | | | | LEGO Factory Judge Pages Archived?
|
| One side benefit to LF (IMO) has been the spotlight pages on the judges. It's fun to read each judge's background, childhood favorites, etc. and then try to see how that reflects in his/her designs. From a teacher's point of view, I also loved the (...)

I know if you ask the publisher, they will typically say, "No!" and inside the book cover it says you cannot reproduce anything, but the fair use doctrine says otherwise. You would have to copy a lot from a book to (...) (20 years ago, 30-Aug-04, to lugnet.edu, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Permission Req'd for Education?
|
| (...) It is always the most polite and least risky thing to do to ask permission to use images that you yourself did not create. However, it is not necessarily unlawful to use them if you don't (in the United States, at least, other countries may (...) (20 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.edu, FTX)
