Lord, yes Kinko's staff has ABSOLUTELY NO understanding of fair use. As
a matter of fact, most of the time, they have it exactly backwards. I
have been Repeatedly told by Kinko staff that if I was making multiple
copies for classroom use, it would be all right, but since I only wanted
one copy for personal use, they could not allow me to make the copy.
Once, a costumer friend wanted to make an outfit from a cover of
Analog. We didn't want to haul the issue around. (Which I own.)
Kinko's brain dead staff insisted that the copyright notice for the SFBC
ad back cover art meant that Stan Schmidt's permission to make 1 color
enlargement for the purpose of verifying the fabric & trim colors was
invalid. <headcounter>
They have refused to let me make b&w reductions of original artwork for
me to file with my home insurance policy. I wanted to get the sales
receipt & the image onto the same sheet. Can you imagine a more
innocuous purpose?
Don't believe ANYTHING a Kinko staffer tells you about copyright law!
