Re: movie copyright compliance

[Dawn Sardes <Dmsardes@AOL.COM>]

I SO agree that school is NOT the appropriate place to show "reward" movies
due to the fact the time/fitting in all the content factor.

BUT, I have purchased the Movie Licensing, Inc. site license for my PUBLIC
LIBRARY.  I'm thinking that maybe your teachers could request specific films
to be shown AFTER school at the public library for curriculum support, extra
credit, rewards, etc.

I know that I would be thrilled to help out.  My only concern is if a
specific movie, such as Glory (R Rating due to violence of topic) is
requested, I would prefer an informed parental permission slip.  Although our
library does not prohibit children from checking out R rated videos if their
parent has allowed them to have an adult card.  I also would be agreeable to
allowing parents to attend with the children if they want.  Heck, it may even
spur...gasp...family discussion.

We could print up coupons/entry tickets to be handed out to a specific class,
group, whatever.

Maybe check with your local library and see if they have a site license.  If
not, ask if they'd be willing to buy one.

So, what do you think?  Good idea or have I been hanging around my
pea-brained cats too much?
