- Educators working in nonprofit educational institutions can use fair use rights for instructional purposes
- Copyrighted materials can only be used in particular circumstances and for particular uses that balance your rights as an educator with the copyright owner's rights.

All circumstances are individual, and unique, and there are times when materials cannot be re-used or shared online legally.
