Challenge C teams:
Please read the Copyright Section of the
Rules of the Road, page 27, as referenced in the
challenge,
Section A.1.c. Be aware that even though the
challenge just mentions use of pre-recorded music, that copyright
laws include music, characters from literature and exact quotes from
literature as well, all outlined in the Rules of the Road.
It is illegal to use or reproduce copyrighted material without the
owner’s permission. If a team is concerned about a copyright
infringement, it should do a thorough review of copyright. Team
Managers and/or schools are responsible for helping team members
determine if any material is copyrighted and how to obtain

Challenge D: Private DI Challenge & Internet Usage Clarifications
There is a list of 10 ADDITIONAL Sleuths (for a total of 20) for teams to choose from for their solution to Challenge D: Private DI. This list of additional Sleuths is now available as a Published Clarification here.
Additionally, we have received several queries
(recently and in past seasons) about internet usage and the
responsibilities of a Team Manager in overseeing internet research.
We have provided the following statement as a Published
Clarification for all Challenges:
“The Internet offers a tremendous amount of information and positive educational benefits. The use of the Internet for research also comes with the risk of children being exposed to objectionable content or content more sophisticated than appropriate for their age. Destination ImagiNation expects that children will have adult supervision if they use the Internet as they work to solve their Challenge. It is not Interference for responsible adults to audit and limit team members’ Internet research. Adults can disallow team members from researching or using characters or situations they deem inappropriate for the team members’ ages or circumstances. Adults can disallow a team from working on a Challenge the adult deems inappropriate for the age or sophistication level of the team.”
The NExT 2009 T-Shirt and the Pins are available NOW!! They can be picked up at the Regional Tournament on February 28th in Building C. Or contact John Stromp at jstromp1@swbell.net to arrange an earlier pick up.
