This document summarizes copyright law as it pertains to classroom use of digital media under Section 110(2) and the TEACH Act. It defines fair use as the reasonable and limited portion of a work for distance learning and notes that access must be restricted to appropriate audiences only. The four factor fair use test considers the character of the use, purpose of the use, nonprofit/educational nature, and effect on the work's market. Works published before 1922 are in the public domain. Educators must employ protections to prevent unauthorized distribution of classroom materials.
