"">Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the copyright applies if the
material is not for sale. If I'm wrong there is plenty of material that is
in the public domain. I don't know what material that is specifically, but
Eva Reich does, and most probably Mary Higgins as well.""

I shall correct you and give an example. Copying the material and making it 
available to others without permission is considered an infringement of 
copyright. You have circumvented the original author or writer his ability 
to receive income on the use of the material by others that normally would 
of been paid. As a teacher myself I am quite aware of many of the copyright 
laws that apply to what I may make available to students in class. These 
laws also include video use laws.....jogg (PORE) 

Example: A music teacher copies a score to some music to share with a class 
at school. A student in the class who also is a writer of music notifies 
the writer of the musical score that this copying of the material has taken 
place. The write of the musical score sues the teacher for untold thousands 
of dollars in court. The teacher is fined for infringement of copyright and 
has to pay thousands awarded by the court to the writer of the musical 
score. The student who informed on the teacher did so because he realized 
that his own monies in life would also come from the purchase of the 
material which wouldn't be bought if copies were made available to those 
who normally would have purchased the material .
