Default Using photocopied materials in the classroom?

Hi, I know that Eric, Mark and their teams have been creating a lot of ESL teaching materials they are using in their classrooms and sharing with other ESL professionals. But what do you think about the others who are using photocopied pages in their classrooms? I mean, I understand that is not very professional but what about the legal side? Is it allowed to copy single pages out of a textbook and then use those pages to teach English and earn money? As I see it, this practice is a violation of international copy right law, or at least it is an infringement. Still, it's being done many times in many schools in many countries. What is your take on this entire issue?
