[Libs-Or] Fair use question

[Betsy Summers]

Hi Kirsten,

Great article on playing copyrighted music:
https://ucomm.wsu.edu/music-copyright/  Wouldn't libraries fall under the
TEACH Act?

I haven't really looked into this, but could you listen to albums already
uploaded via YouTube? Perhaps they have the required licensing agreements
already?
