Joy and Lisa,
Go back and check the thread on the Museum-L archives. I believe that the
last post on this was that there was going to be a session on this topic
with an intellectual property / entertainment lawyer at the upcoming AAM
meeting.

Also, you can look at FAQ on the US Copyright office at:  www.copyright.gov

Cheers!
