TEACH ACT WILL GO TO HOUSE - The Technology, Education and Copyright
Harmonization (TEACH) Act, which passed the Senate more than a year ago is expected to
be presented before the House in early October. If passed, the bill will be brought to the
President for signature. The TEACH Act expands the exceptions under the 1976 Copyright
Act that allow educational institutions to use copyrighted material for instruction without
securing the copyright holders' permission. It will allow accredited, non-profit distance
education providers to digitally transmit nondramatic literary and musical works. For more
