#4. I found this one to be interesting and kind of surprising. It seems like it would be difficult for a lot of schools to meet the state-mandated technology proficiency for all high schoolers without any extra money from state funding. It seems like buying what you can (which may not be much at all) and copying the rest is really the only solution because it's technology proficiency, so you can't really just turn to another teaching method--it would be missing the technology part. It also seems like there's a gray area,
Some interpretations of the 11th Amendment of the Constitution suggest that state schools may in fact be exempt from copyright prosecutions. However, following the guidelines encourages software and hardware makers to keep making quality products for us to buy.
It seems like they're saying "well I guess you can do it sometimes, but we'd really rather you not..."

You describe the gray area very well. I wish the guidelines and the law were clearer.
good reflection.
