Re: Student Rights
That sounds like a problem to take up with the school administration. If your friend is a minor, then it's even more problematic.
Copyright attaches at the time of writing, so if your friend didn't give authority to exploit his work, the teacher doesn't own the copyright in the essay and is infringing.
Consult a copyright lawyer to get more information on his options.
