- Students are notified students that sound recordings are being made available for teaching, study, and research only.
- Attributions to known copyright owners of the sound recordings will be provided.
- The use of the sound recordings is transformative, using recordings originally produced for aesthetic or entertainment purposes to educate students about the use of English grammar.
