Perhaps, although it may be an issue whether Georgia state law supersedes the 
federal copyright laws.

Part of the issue in fair use, as I understand it, involves "face to face" 
presentation (generally okay). So there is a bit of a question as to whether or 
not a web site restricting access to registered students meets this kind of 
criterion.
