While this class helped clarify the differences in copyright law concerning areas like TEACH and Fair Use, there are still some gray areas that exist in the world of copyright law, that even after reading I am still confused about.  I was already familiar with the Public Domain rule, as I have performed many pieces that have fallen under this jurisdiction.  If you look at copyright infringements that have gone through courts over the past few years, the outcomes are not even consistent among well educated judges!

I always take great care to guard materials under copyright law and to use them in they classroom as is allowed by the law.  When in doubt, I have asked others who are smarter than myself in this area, or have done my own research to find out what is or isn't allowed in the classroom setting.
