Libraries don't make copies of books and media and I never said they did. What I did say was libraries are exempt from copyright violations due to Fair Use. That includes schools. Anytime you are distributing or copying material for educational purposes it falls under fair use. I think the original poster was talking about the distribution part of that. Not duplication.
You are simply making this up. "Fair use" is not a blank check to distribute and copy any amount of material for educational purposes. There are pretty strong limitations on this. Please do some research before you post crap. For example see »copyright.lib.utexas.edu/clasguid.html

I don't see any differences in that link that do not support what I said. I never said you can go nuts copying and distributing for educational purposes. I only said they are exempt from normal copyright restrictions. This is what copyright law says:

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections § 106 and § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

Don't get all worked up over semantics.
