Copyright are the legal protections that allow authors or copyright holder to control the use and reproduction of their work. The purpose of copyright, derived from Article I, §8 of the United States Constitution, is to provide a safe environment in which creativity, learning, and progress can thrive. Using someone else's published work for educational purposes is often acceptable, but you should still consider copyright law whenever you are using someone else's work in your teaching.
