I'm just wondering if this indeed is correct as an instructor can legally make a copy of a "periodical article" for her/his class, if the article is timely and the discovery of the article (read e-mail message) meets the immediacy test. So distributing at an in-service training session I would deem "fair-use" as long as the distribution was not repeated another term, without permission. Distributing to a list serve however, would, I believe be a different story as that is more akin to republishing considering there is no identifiable "class" and that the responses are archived (as in published).
