Online Learning and Copyright Exceptions for Education

[Mike Palmedo and Margarita Gorospe] As schools have closed in response to the Coronavirus 19 pandemic, interest in online learning has increased dramatically. Online learning often involves distributing copyrighted works online, so its governed by copyright limitations that vary widely from one country to the next.

Other countries do not, or place different types of conditions on the limitation.
