copyright - Videos from Europe

[Floyd Pentlin <fpentlin@GARFIELD.LEESUMMIT.K12.MO.US>]

Good morning, group!  I have followed with interest the various
discussions on copyright issues.  I have one that has just come up, and I
think I know the answer, but I am looking for corroboration.

We are putting in a video delivery system in a new building.  As all
video will be delivered from the media center, we are going to be
scrupulus about observing the copyright law.

Several of our foreign language teachers have copied television programs
from the country they were studying in this summer.  I realize copyright
laws vary from country to country, but wouldn't the 10-day rule still
apply to showing videos in the classroom -- whether they were taped in
France or the United States?

Thanks for the info on this 97-degree day.....whew!!!
