The site is designed so that students may use it on their own or in connection with classroom activities. The material provided on this site may be reproduced for educational, noncommercial purposes, provided that the following copyright notice is included: "Copyright 2001, The Copyright Society of the U.S.A.," and the following acknowledgment also included: "These materials are reproduced from the copyrightkids.org website courtesy of Friends of Active Copyright Education (FA©E), an initiative of the Copyright Society of the U.S.A.."
