It is a fine line. Teaching has changed, so less is done in class than was
before because the classroom, in a a sense has expanded beyond the walls. One
would not read a book, or even an article in class, so that would not be
covered, but listening to songs, or a score was something that was
That is too fine a line for me. Who tells an instructor that the entire
Civil War series can't be streamed because he thinks students should have
access to it for general background? TEACH is very clear that it is for the
transmission of material that would in fact be used in physical class if
Jessica, we were talking about music, which does not fall under the limited and

instructors as to what is an appropriate amount under the section
Like I said music is not my area, but issue of whether TEACH allows you to
use ANYTHING you would not in fact be using in the course is the key
question. It can't be used for some additional material you just did not
have time to include at least not as I read both the act and LOC's
explanation

their paper or take quiz based on the
Are any of you up on best practices for audio reserves?
I received a question about the legalities of doing a coursepack or e-reserves
of music.
I don't have the list of songs/artists yet, but I think it's a history of pop
music class.
What resources should I take a look at for guidance?

Hi Barb,
Hong Kong copyright law is different than USA, but if one of my faculty
members asked the question like this, I would answer this way:
If you are talking about creating a mix-CD by copying *entire tracks*, or
copying and posting entire tracks of music onto a server, it sounds like a
