I went through a similar situation last year, so I suggest that you do what
I did this year--not tape it. I hate not to have a tape of it, but it saved
all of the parents wanting copies, and me a lot of grief in having to worry
about the entire situation!

Subject: How to handle this..
Today our school had a talent show which was attended by many
parents and
the students as well. After the show I was asked by the office staff if
I
could make copies of the tape we made (to later show again to the
students on the
last day) and sell them to the parents who had asked about getting a
copy. I
told them that since the music used was copyrighted it could not be done
and
sold. I also did not feel that privacy issues would allow it, but
couldn't find
anything to back that up in my hasty look through a book on copyright
issues.
Finally, even if copyright was not an issue, I did not have the time to
do it
for many parents were asking.
How do you handle this at your school? I would appreciate replies
from
the copyright experts on this list as well as a diplomatic way to say
"no."
Thank you.
