Copyright for teachers is a fine line. Powerpoints created using informaiton taken from other places should only be allowed to be used in a class once but most are used for multiple periods and years. Everything that a teacher uses should be sourced for their own protection. I have seen teachers break the law by showing certain videos without a permit and by not siting their sources for powerpoints. It is common for people to technically break copyright but normally on very small scales and for personal use. You-tube is a good example of copyright laws being broken but they try to keep videos off that are not lawful.
It is a teacher's job to teach copyright. It could and should be taught with plajorism becasuse copyright is just a larger form of plajorism. Everyone diserves to have the credit for their own work. And I know that I will teach it in my classroom even though the lines of copyright are hard to define.
