I would guess that if you are not changing the pages in any way (i.e.
creating a derivative work) that it would be fine. I'm not a lawyer, so
that's just an intuitive guess. Particularly, I think that educational
institutions have broader "fair use".

--> Subject: using real sites as demos
-->
-->
--> I recently created an online demo of JAWS reading three Web
--> pages to use
--> for workshops and speaking engagements.
--> http://www.state.sc.us/scsl/access/demos/
-->
--> These are real Web pages that I ran across. Does anyone see
--> any problem
--> with using real pages? I saw these as open to the public and my use
--> being equivalent to that of a restaurant or movie critic.
--> However, it
--> seems I remember that WebAIM once had a copy of
--> Amazon.com's Web page
--> and then the same page in an accessible version and they
--> had to remove
--> it.
-->
--> Does anyone know if it is acceptable to use real Web pages in this
--> manner?
-->
--> Thanks,
