From a legal sense, notehall has very interesting model but for the record yes it is absolutely legal. When a student will sign up for note hall to submit their notes Notehall makes students check a box saying other people can use your work. Notehall is legal because it allows students to upload old exams or other copyright materials. As long as students submit materials that are their own interpretation of the lecture they can legally sell their class notes or study guides. On top of this, for the users sake, all user information including first and last name plus email is kept private and anonymous by notehall. It would be best if students aren't audio or visually recording the professor's lecture and then type up lecture notes word for word. Then that would be copyright infringement.
After reviewing notehall's Terms and Conditions it's apparent a lot of research and critical thought went into forming Notehall's business operations. Notehall is running their business operations in a very smart, legal and ethical way because the website because they abide by Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 2000, just like YouTube. If lecture notes happen to have certain word for word quotes by University professors and these notes are flagged. These notes can be reported and Notehall's Terms and Conditions states flagged notes will be reviewed and removed if it violates copyright infringement. The only negative I see is that Notehall will have a lot of heavy lifting in reagards to document maintenance if students abuse the system if they aren't already. I can foresee students abusing the system by uploading old exams and other copyrighted materials and it will be imperative for the notehall company to remove these documents in a timely fashion if they are flagged.
