Copyright Permission In The Digital Age

TEACH specifies that for a distance learning course, comparable amounts of copyrighted works may be put up electronically. Students can make a single, personal print copy from a Web page, but not a digital copy (download). Some digital downloading is prevented by the software, but not always. TEACH says that ISPs should install "measures that reasonably prevent: (aa) retention …[and] (bb) unauthorized further dissemination." The institution is not required to guarantee that it cannot be "cracked." There is still no legislation outlining fair use of digital materials except for educational use.
