Copyright and Fair Use LR

A coordinator installs the one copy of Photoshop the school owns on a centeral server so students are able to access it from their classroom work stations. I was very surprised that this didn't violate the copy right laws because it allows for more then on person to use it at the same time. I believe that this is similar to showing a movie in class. I support the fact that it is allowed if it is distributed by the serve because that allows for schools to use more software as educational purposes. I agree that it is able to do this, however I believe if schools can get in trouble for not enforcing simultaneous use then this needs to be explained in deatail which people understand. There are many copy right laws which help schools educate students and I believe that this is one which is helpful to the schools system. I support and agree with this law and believe that if teachers are given this privilage it is important that they do the work and follow through with their end of the law.
