U.S. Copyright Proposal Supports Distance Learning.

via NYTimes

>Calling distance education "a vibrant and burgeoning
field," the United States Copyright Office is
recommending a series of changes to federal law that it
says would make it easier for educators to use copyrighted
materials in classes taught over computer networks.<

>If the recommendations are approved by Congress, a
professor at a nonprofit institution teaching a class over the
Internet would allowed by law, for the first time, to do things
like show a movie clip or play a portion of a musical recording
to his remote students, no matter where they were sitting
and without fear of running afoul of the law. <
