Information Outlook: The TEACH Act - Copyright Corner The TEACH Act eliminates the current restriction that transmissions be received in a classroom or other place normally devoted to instruction except for disabled individuals who cannot attend a regular classroom or government employees who attend a distance learning course embodying a performance of a copyrighted work as a part of their official duties. The TEACH Act agrees with the statement in the Register's Report that the fair use doctrine is still available and nothing in the bill is intended to limit or alter the scope of fair use. In place of the existing classroom restriction, TEACH requires the transmission be made solely to students officially enrolled in the course or to government employees who receive the transmission as a part of his or her official duties. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0FWE/is_4_6/ai_95200288   (319 words)

University Copyright Center - Copyright & the TEACH Act TEACH allows the displays and performances of nearly all types of works.  Secondly, the Act allows certain transmissions of copyrighted materials to remote students.  Third, it allows for the digitization of certain analog works if there is no commercial digital copy available.  All three of these involve requirements. The main benefit is that the TEACH Act tries to take what can be done in the face-to-face classroom and make a parallel to the distance education classroom.  It is not totally successful since there still prohibitions for distance education that are not there for the face-to-face classroom. The TEACH Act addresses the use of  copyrighted materials in distance education. www.bsu.edu /library/article/0,,16124--,00.html   (319 words)

Teach the Rover Notes: Edward Teach is the actual name of the pirate usually known as "Blackbeard." This song agrees with Daniel Defoe in describing him as quite successful and bloody, but available records (such as the log of a ship Defoe asserts fought against Teach) seem to indicate that much of Defoe's account is fiction. It is also true that Teach's short career did not yield many rich prizes, and the records do not indicate that he harmed his victims.
