As noted in the article Fair Use and Copywrite For Teachers, the issue of copywrite law enforcement receives little public attention. Should it receive more?
As an educator for nearly a decade, I can say that I have never given copywrite law much thought. I suppose my reasoning is both a lack of education and a (perhaps unworthy) sense that ‘laws need not apply to teachers’ who are doing nothing more than trying to educate our youth.
Perhaps I should learn more. And why? To protect my own legal position? To protect the sales of others’ literary production?
Okay, let’s get real. Both the copywrite law and the enforcement of that law is altogether fuzzy stuff. Published literature on the topic does not suggest otherwise. (http://home.earthlink.net/~cnew/research.htm, http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/ccmcguid.htm
