works as textbooks, course packs, or other material in any media, copies or
phonorecords of which are typically purchased or acquired by the students in
higher education for their independent use and retention or are typically
purchased or acquired for elementary and secondary students for their

stored on the system or network controlled or operated by the transmitting
body or institution under this paragraph shall be maintained on such system
or network in a manner ordinarily accessible to anyone other than
anticipated recipients. No such copy shall be maintained on the system or
network in a manner ordinarily accessible to such anticipated recipients for
a longer period than is reasonably necessary to facilitate the transmissions
for which it was made.'.
