Section 110* of the Copyright
Law contains exemptions that allow nonprofit education institutions some limited rights to use
copyrighted materials in face-to-face classroom settings and also some more restricted rights
to transmit some types of copyrights works.
NEW - The "Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act", commonly
referred to as the
TEACH Act* completely revises Section 110(2) of the Copyright Law to address use of copyrighted
material for distance education. The
ALA and the
University of Texas
have posted information regarding this important new legislation.
