Audiobook/Copyright?
I have a copyright question for everyone. A teacher wants to purchase an audiobook and then post it to her website for her students to access. The page she would put it on would be password protected and only for students in her class that are reading that book.
Another option would be to save this file to a network folder, again, password protected...
Does this fly under Educational use?

I would say no. It's one thing to make the audiobook available during class at a listening center but by making a copy and putting it online no student in the class will buy the audiobook themselves because it's available for them for free wherever they go (as long as they have access to the internet).
The teacher could put up a small section of the audiobook with some of her own commentary included on the page and that would be fair use.
