Question

Andy was teaching a unit on Tennyson in his British Literature class, and he came across an essay about the poet that would really "bring the man to life." He made copies of the essay and distributed them to the students. Based on the information presented here, did Andy violate copyright laws?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In my opinion, considering this situation, depends on what this teacher is going to do about this essay. Firstly he needs to put the name of the author (in this case the poet). This is the reference about who wrote this essay and it will help the students know who are the true author. Secondly, if this teacher is wishing to work with this essay or want to put in another essay and publised it, he needs to ask permission (or to author or to publishing company).

He can make copies about different essays, but he or any person whom wants to do it need to make references about the author or authors or maybe the publishing company. This is the legal way if you want to use any essay that weren't you wrote or publised. So, my finally answer about it is that depends on the situation about answering the question: Did Andy violate copyright laws?
