Update April 13, 2006: The final guide is available Here.
Text version.
I’m in the process of completing my final project for SFSU’s Broadcast Electronic Communications Arts department (BECA) — My assignment is to write a student licensing guide to help students with licensing their school productions.
It’s most of the way complete except for a Pros and Cons table that I won’t have ready for a few more hours.
A word file with the tracking turned on is available here:

A text file:

I’m including a text file here and in the “more” section below.
Please make changes directly to the file, or send me an email with suggestions about specific sections – please quote the text so I know what you’re referring to.
This isn’t about proofreading! This thing’s already in pretty good shape. I’m wondering if it makes sense to experts and non-experts alike.
You do not need to be a legal expert to be helpful to me. I’m wondering if this stuff makes sense to newbies too. That’s the whole point of this guide.
Please email me a lisa@lisarein.com with your comments and/or edited word file.
thanks!
