On the WebOnline Courses | Creators' Rights | Linking | Downloading | Publishing | Fair Use | Domain Name Ownership Distance Education has been growing in higher education as rapidly as the Web has spread throughout the globe. From virtually nothing ten years ago, the existence of full-blown online college degree programs have started virtually everywhere. And just as the Web has evolved, so has the development of content, from simple "static" pages to dynamic, interactive multimedia sites that move, react to user's mouse clicks, and even provide telecommunications capability. Not all of these sites use original content. Some of them use copyrighted works. That's why you are here. (modified from Copyright Bay). Terence McElwee, University Counsel, UIC.
