Hey Everyone,

We're still trying to understand the detail of what's happening here,
but a screening of Eyes on the Prize that was scheduled at James
Madison High School in Vienna, Virginia is being shut down by lawyers
who claim that it's a copyright violation.  We are still trying to
figure out who the lawyers are, who they represent, what their strategy
is, etc.  The teachers name is Gideon Sanders (he's willing to talk to
press and others-- his number is 202-316-3084).

Anyone have advice or want to help?  We're pretty shocked at this
development...
