Copyright

Copyrights protect the original copy of the artists that created it. There wouldn't be any money made if there wasn't any copyright. As a poor student i feel that copyright is "dumb." But as a adult, copyright is necessary. As a teacher i would hope a lot of companies will be lenient to us. I would hate to have to go through a bunch of loops just to get a video to show in one class.

Copyright law provides educators with a separate set of rights in addition to fair use, to display (show) and perform (show or play) others' works in the classroom. These rights are in Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act and apply to any work, regardless of the medium

The TEACH Act expands the scope of educators' rights to perform and display works and to make the copies integral to such performances and displays for digital distance education, making the rights closer to those we have in face-to-face teaching.
