[LM_NET] SEC: student performances on local access cable and copyright

[Deb Ennen <dennen@ISD2135.K12.MN.US>]

Season's greetings!

Our activities director would like to show our students' performances on a local 
access cable channel, including things like musicals, concert performances, etc.  I 
am quite sure that there are numerous copyright issues involved, and was wondering 
if someone could give me a head's up of what I needed to know before we make a 
major mistake.  I have Carol Simpson's Copyright in Schools 3rd ed. and know that 
to sell tapes we must get permission from the persons in the performance and get 
performance and distribution rights. Do these rules apply to local access cable and 
are there more things to consider?  Please advise.   TIA
