Teach Act, E-Reserves, & Fair Use?

["Ryan Charles" <rcharles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After reading all of the talk on Ereserves and the teach act I get the
impression that people on the listserv are intending the act to cover placing
text from books online.  The act however (in my opinion) is specifically
talking about display/performances which to me means a painting displayed on
an overhead or a short clip of a nondramatic performance.  I find no support
in the text of the statute to support the copying of chapters from a book to
be displayed electronically? Any comments.
