Re: "home use" videos

[Esther Sinofsky <esinofs@EIS.CALSTATE.EDU>]

You can use home use videos in the classroom as long as you stick to the
provision of Sect. 110, subsection 1 of the Copyright Act.  Basically,
it  says it must be for teaching purposes (not rewards); in a classroom
for face-to-face teaching.

Let me know if you need more detailed info.
