The Internet History Sourcebooks Project is a website which gives one online access to portions of primary source documents as well as other useful material for teachers. It claims to be abiding by the Fair Use policy and that the documents that can be found on this site are copy-permitted.  In analyzing this website according to the 4 factors of fair use – Purpose, Nature, Use, and Effect (simplified description according to Copy Right Tutorial by Rosemary Chase GMU’s Copyright Officer) – I would say that it does abide by the legal terms  fairly well however it could offer more restriction on who can access the site. Many of the documents on this website are old enough in which the copyright laws do not apply as strictly (though this does not mean they do not still apply at all) however the Modern section links to sites and material in which those right can be applied more strictly. Because this site is open to anyone I think it comes close to violating the distribution to the public domain/purpose factor for although it seems fair in the sense that anyone can access it this also means that even though the site was designed for educational purposes, specifically for classroom use, it cannot be assured that only educators will use this site and the material. Non educators could use this site and forgo these principles. Thus, for the most part this site in my opinion is legally and ethically ok however some parts could be debated.
