Q: If it is on the Internet, it is free to use, right?
A: It may be free to access, but it is better to link to copyright protected works instead of making a copy that can be shared without giving the copyright owner a chance to make money from the transaction. If you want to make a work available to all your students, every year, you can pay for a license, get written permission from the copyright owner, or find similar content that is opened with a license addendum for easier use.
