TEACH Act Requirement

The copyrighted materials were legally obtained by the instructor.

Explanation

If a business professor wanted to do a case study of DreamWorks decision to simultaneously release three sound tracks for The Prince of Egypt, she might refer her students to "DreamWorks Belts Bible with Three 'Prince of Egypt' Soundtracks." (Freydkin, 1998) She might even suggest that her students view the video clip of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey sing "When You Believe" that is included with the article. However, she could not download the video clip and make it available to her students on-line. Even if it is legal for CNN to post this clip on their web site, the business professor's copy was not legally obtained and cannot be used without the permission of the copyright holder.

However, the business professor would be able to download and play a short speach on European Union policy that was delivered on May 1, 2004 she downloaded from the Independent Media Centre because their policy gives her permission to do so.

We think that all content published on this site should be free for non-commercial reuse, reprint, and rebroadcast, on the internet and elsewhere, and we think that Copyleft is an idea which should be central to Indymedia. Because of this, all content published on this site is done so under these terms by default. However if you want to publish content under different terms and conditions, you must clearly state these terms and conditions in the text of your published content.

As long as the video clip meets other requirements of the TEACH Act such as being directly related to course objectives, the business professor post a section of a documentary she purchased or obtained from the library for her on-line students.
