It's called "Public Performance Rights" and we pay a good deal more for those rights because we use them in a classroom setting. I have never heard about the 40 audience limit. We buy lots of our videos from PBS and it has a special store just for educators. If you compare the price for the same video title from the teacher's store with the price from the general public store, you will usually find anywhere from $50-$100 difference. Sites like the Discovery Channel will not sell certain videos to me because they do not offer "Public Performance Rights" and cannot legally be viewed by a school audience. Usually, these only apply to new series like Mythbusters which did eventually apply those rights. I think I had to wait until after season two for school availability.

Dear Copyright Experts, My teacher husband recently ordered a Civil War video from PBS. The woman on the phone asked if the tape was for personal or professional use. My husband asked what the difference was. She replied that if the audience size was under 40, that was personal use. If over 40, that would be professional use and he'd have to pay extra for a "copyright license." Has anyone heard of this before? I've never seen this mentioned on the list.
