RE: copyright questions to listservs

It all depends on where the article came from, and what uses of the article are permitted under the license accompanying the database from which the article was extracted. I suspect that most database licenses would prohibit this sort of re-distribution.

Subject: copyright questions to listservs

I am new to this list and this question may have been asked before so please excuse me.

1. If a faculty member downloaded a full text of an article from a database and then e-mails it to all of his class, is that permissible?
2. Can they repeat the email for additional semesters without obtaining copyright permission?

Thanks in advance.
