copyright question

Dear LMNetters:

I received a call from someone wanting to know the following:

A teacher brought a video (informational) about Spain that was produced
in Spain.  They think it would be excellent to use in the other schools
but can't find out how to purchase it.  Would it be legal (I'm thinking
the answer is no) to make copies to pass to three other schools?  The
copies would be in the media center and would be checked out and used
(probably by eight teachers total).

TIA


Susan
