I would like some clarification on the topic of  showing "Home Use Only"
videotapes.  Today the sixth grade teachers in one of our middle schools
made a request to the library staff for a tape to be broadcast to three of
their classrooms.  The tape is a rental copy of <bold><underline>Apollo 
13,</underline></bold>  clearly marked
for home use only.  The librarian and staff are concerned that this is a
violation of copyright, but the principal sees no problem.  The tape is being
shown to "fill in" during a period when many students are involved in make
up testing so it does seem to be a face to face teaching situation.  What do
others do in this type of situation?
