| Crash Course in Copyright |
Someone owns just about everything.
Fair use lets you use their things
But not as much as you'd like to.
Sometimes you have to ask for permission.
Sometimes you are the owner think about that!
This is a quote from Georgia Harper (UT System, Texas), the producer of this very informative course on copyright.

| The TEACH Act |
On November 2, 2002, the Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act (the TEACH Act), part of the larger Justice Reauthorization legislation (H.R. 2215), was signed into law by President Bush. Long anticipated by educators and librarians, TEACH redefines the terms and conditions on which accredited, nonprofit educational institutions throughout the nation may use copyright protected materials in distance education including on Web sites and by other digital means without permission from the copyright owner and without payment of royalties. The American Library Association gives a thorough description of the legislation and what it means. This shorter guide to the TEACH Act is provided by the Copyright Clearance Center.
