The Teachers Pay Teachers site includes a thorough copyright FAQ and an overview of their personal copyright policy in the informational footer on every page. The FAQ seems to cover as much information as possible without seeking legal council. Teachers Pay Teachers appears to have investigated multiple copyright scenarios for member interaction with their employers and amongst themselves. The FAQ goes to great lengths to describe these different scenarios and what is permitted and non-permitted within each one. The site is trying to conduct business effectively and legally. However, instead of warning Teachers Pay Teachers members of copyright policies and they’re employers, it might be shrewder to keep working with the website and school as separate as possible. Members should conduct their business without curriculum already provided by the school, during school hours, or using school equipment. The site should almost be considered home-schooling support to protect work from school systems unless the school itself wants to purchase the work and add it to required curriculum. I think as much separation as possible would keep the site ethically and legally protected. As long as members maintain their ethical and legal integrity, this site could do wonders for them.
