Why would instructors want to spend their valuable time rerecording something
that already exists to the state of the art?

If other professors jump off a bridge, are you going to do it, too?  Perhaps
you've heard of lawsuits against colleges, universities involving unauthorized
distribution over the internet of their materials?  If not, and even if so, my
advice would be to not disregard the need for copyright permission.

Hi,

I have a few simple questions to ask: 1. Can foreign language instructors
record their voice to accompany textbooks or workbooks which are not
accompanied by audio and ask the LLC to stream the audio files from its
password protected web site? 2. If the textbooks are accompanied by audio
files, can we record own version and host on our password protected
website

Our professors found that other instructors at other universities have
done so. The audio files are not password protected even though there is
audio to accompany the textbook.

Thank you for your input.
