I think it's legal to photocopy entire stories for an educational
context. That falls under fair use. Can't use the same thing more
than three years or something like that, I think, and if you charge
for the photocopies that's a problem too. Kinkos got into a lot of
trouble over that some time back.
The guy wasn't talking about staging a play, though, just a public
reading of the story. I'm curious if that falls under fair use too,
especially if he doesn't charge admission.
