Increasing numbers of Association for Business Communication members are using multimedia as a form of instruction. Because copyright guidelines affecting multimedia production have only recently been established, policies are not well known. To determine if ABC members understand the guidelines, we created a questionnaire about specific instances of multimedia use and sent it via Internet e-mail to a sample chosen from the 1996 membership directory. Respondents received an average grade of "C," with most answering conservatively, assuming that copyright restrictions are more restrictive than they, in fact, are.

Key Words: Copyright • multimedia • fair use • teaching materials
