All true (though there is no mention of streaming in the law and one rarely can purchase a stream outright, so I'm not sure it would really qualify as an unused copy in the same way a tangible item would. Also, it is considered a "replacement" copy in the language of the law. A "preservation"

All, Just want to clarify something about 110(1) in Dennis’ description. The criteria in 110(1) are not quite as rigid/explicit as Dennis notes. It does not say anything about a registered class, but that it must be “in the course of the face to face teaching activities of a non-profit

The teach act does indeed cover fiction. The law reads “the performance of a nondramatic literary or musical work or reasonable and limited portions of any other work.” What it says is that teach covers (in their entirety, assuming all other conditions are met) nondramatic literary or musical

It is not fair use. It is TEACH. Fair use may be used to justify these sorts of things, but if that is the case, each case would have to be looked at individually. Also, TEACH does set some limitations on amount, though they are vague ("limited and reasonable"). While there are arguments as to

Depends who is in the course. MOOCs are generally people outside an institution (open to the public), so something like the TEACH act is less likely to apply and they wouldn’t have access to licensed content for institutional users. Instructors using Blackboard or other CMS for courses offered

Deg, It is an interesting question. For me, it is less about what the law will allow and more about whether or not the replacement (in this case the access to the content in streaming form) will fulfill needs as well as (or better than) the physical copy. For example, what if a faculty member

This would not be for preservation (since it is not a unique item), it would be for replacement of a damaged copy. However, if it is available through Films on Demand, you couldn’t really say that it is unavailable at a fair price in an unused copy. It is available in a different format
