copy(right?)

Within this video about copyright laws and fair use act, I learned a lot about what I'm allowed to use, for how long, and under what circumstances. The TEACH act is a great movement that opened a lot of doors and windows for teachers. I understand that using material that I have borrowed from others is under the conditions that I am using it for informational reasons, and not entertainment. That makes sense to me, because mass-producing a work of a writer or director at your own monetary gain doesn’t seem legally conducive. I know that watching out for copyright laws is going to be a significant part of my job, but I do appreciate the TEACH act that is there to allow me to use a large amount of material for educational purposes.
