"Copyrights enable us to require that others attribute references
to our work to us; they give us economic rights because we can
trade them for publication which would otherwise prove too
expensive a proposition, at least in the past."

3. Fair Use Factors
The four fair use factors:
1. What is the character of
the use?
2. What is the nature of the
work to be used?
3. How much of the work will
you use?
4. What effect would this use
have on the market for the
original or for permissions
if the use were
widespread?

4. The TEACH Act
"The TEACH Act expands the scope of educators' rights to perform and display works and
to make the copies integral to such performances and displays for digital distance
education, making the rights closer to those we have in face-to-face teaching. But there is
still a considerable gap between what the statute authorizes for face-to-face teaching and
for distance education. For example, as indicated above, an educator may show or
perform any work related to the curriculum, regardless of the medium, face-
to-face in the classroom - still images, music of every kind, even movies. There are no
limits and no permission required. Under 110(2), however, even as revised and
expanded, the same educator would have to pare down some of those materials
to show them to distant students or make them available over the Internet to face-to-
face students. The audiovisual works and dramatic musical works may only be
shown as clips -- "reasonable and limited portions," the Act says. "
