Thanks Paul.

The TEACH Act is a great thing for instructors.

Folks should be aware that it does not apply to for profit schools.

For more information see:

        * The Expanded TEACH Checklist : http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/scc/legislative/teachkit/expanded_checklist.pdf
        * The TEACH Toolkit: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/scc/legislative/teachkit/
        * The text of the act itself: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/scc/legislative/teachkit/act_text.html
        * Also the American Library Association site has a web page on the act: http://www.ala.org/washoff/teach.html

Hi Pinholers

The fair use act has been updated to deal with modern instruction over
electronic media. For example classes offered at distant sites.

It allows use of photos and portions of movies and musical performances
during the course of instruction transmitted over the internet. With some
restrictions.

Read all about it here.
