Re: photo sales

[Daniel Sokolow <DSokolow@NSHS.EDU>]

Well...

Doesn't sound like the world's greatest idea.  Personally, I probably would
allow the teacher his CD, but I would not allow it to go to a library you
have no control over.  It simply opens the door up to people making use of
the photos in ways you don't necessarily want.

If you must have it go to a system library, the best I can come up with is
to put a nice big label on the CD outlining terms of use - no unauthorized
reproduction, contact information, etc.

It probably won't stop the unscrupulous, but nothing would anyway.
