Taping off TV

[Karen Solomon <solomon@WTRT.NET>]

You were a great help with the copyright issue.  I will share with you that
most everyone told me that if you want to use a Disney movie that you
should get a public performance license or use their lease library.  They
sue at the drop of the hat and have so recently.  You also shared with me
the face-to-face teaching using comercial videos other than Disney.  I
shared this with my teachers and I think they understood that we will not
be renting videos or bringing videos from home unless they plan to write it
in their lesson plans and use it appropriately and not turn it on and sit
at their desk and grade papers.
Now another question for this great group.  If a teacher tapes something
off the TV may they show it in the classroom?  That was the question asked
after I told them about the copyright laws.  For example movies, discovery
channel, history channel, A & E, etc.
TIA
