FedEx Kinkos can kiss my fair use

I accompanied a high school student to a FedEx Kinkos location today in order to make a transparency from a page from MotorTrend Magazine for a speech he’s giving in class this week.

They wouldn’t allow us to make the copy. The kid behind the counter criticized us for trying to violate copyright law.

What?

An educational use like this is explicitly permitted by copyright’s fair use exception.

While FedEx Kinkos can certainly choose to have a policy not allowing any copying of any commercial materials in their stores as a safety measure, cialis buy for sale I can certainly choose to never patronize them again in response to their employee’s patronizing (and wrong) accusation.
