Jill asked me to forward her message to the list, since her own keep
bouncing (I gave her some suggestions on that, Peter). Interesting way
they have of handling this.
Please write to Jill or Barbara with questions, I'm just passing this
on.

Hi Dan,
There is an organisation in Australia called 'Screenrights' that deals
with this particular aspect of copyright in Australia.
They have a section on their website that explains what they do and how:
http://www.screen.org/html/aboutus.htm
Scroll down to the third paragraph to see the bit about educational
institutions.
As you can see, they administer educational copyright based on sections
in the Australian Copyright Law.
There is more in the Users section when you click on 'Australian
Educational Institutions'
http://www.screen.org/html/users.htm
We have similar educational copying rights for books and music with
these licences also being paid on behalf of schools by the education
systems/departments in each state. Schools do have to keep records of
what they copy and there is a system of auditing.
Those agencies are:
APRA [Australasian Performing Right Association] for music:
http://www.apra.com.au/Licence/LEdu.htm
CAL [Copyright Agency Limited] for print copying:
http://www.copyright.com.au/educational_institutions.htm
We really benefit in schools, but our education systems do pay a lot of
money for these privileges.
Cheers,
Jill

Barbara, you gave the secret away in your last paragraph... you don't
have 'freedoms', you have licenses to use the material. And the uses
have been paid for. This should point the way for school librarians here
in the US... get your state education agencies (or maybe a National
initiative) to pay for a general educational recording license. Barbara,
if you know of a link or documentation for how the program works in
Australia, interested people here could use that as a starting point.
