I have to admit that I, like most teachers, use material more "freely" than I should. For the most part, the teachers that I "quizzed" knew the laws, but not all the intricate details... the how many copies they could make and all the numbers involving length of time of video clips and music clips. I found this link while digging around on the web. http://www.techlearning.com/techlearning/pdf/db_area/archives/TL/2002/10/copyright_chart.pdf
I think I've seen it at school in printed form. I know the librarian at school needs to be right on top of this! I'm sure teachers do not break copyright laws because they want to break the law, rather the need is there and the publication fits. I certainly will try and be more aware of all the legalities. With the internet, this is going to continue to grow as a problem!
I have created a Creative Commons license for my Web-page. It's starting to look pretty fancy...
