I'm a bit confused. Are you asking Kinkos to make copies for you or are they walking around policing people to see what they are making copies of by themselves?

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!
