Copyright Laws

The issue of using copyrighted material for educational purposes poses has many loose ends and unresolved problems. Many people think that since most of the material that professors use was written for educational purposes in the first place, the material should be free of charge for any school or university. The other side is simple and thinks that everyone should pay for copyrighted material just the same, given the exception of time. I believe that any material meant to be used constructively toward education, copyrighted or not, should be made available to any teacher or professor at not cost. While there is the exception of time and whether a teacher has time to pay for the material, time should not be an issue. In most cases, the desired material was written with the intention of teaching so I believe that there should be no cost to fulfilling the author's original goal.
