Abstract
Internet‐based distance education has become big business for both universities and the commercial world. The new TEACH Act was intended to make US copyright law friendlier toward Internet‐based distance education. In fact it hedges the privileges it grants with a host of exclusions and restrictions. The Act’s promotion of technological protections could have international consequences that further restrict access to digital works.
