I'm going to take issue with the advice below. While it is true that a
legally acquired video may be shown in classes, the showing must meet four
=additional= requirements before the showing is exempt from the copyright
owner's performance right. Stopping with a single factor of five can get
you into trouble quickly.
Those four other requirements are:
1) school must be non-profit educational institution
2) showing must be for students and teachers in a class
3) showing must take place in a classroom or other instructional place
4) showing must be part of face-to-face teaching activities

Yes, the teacher can show a DVD to the class regardless if it is an
individual purchase, a library purchase or a library edition. Any lawfully
acquired DVD can be shown in the classroom (Section 110(1))

Subject: Copyright question
TAR: DVD Copy right question, please help.
A teacher wants to purchase a DVD of " FDA: A History (send a copy to
your library, edition)". Can the teacher show this DVD to his classes?
He asked me to find out. Since he is buying an individual copy, I would
say NO! Is that correct since it is a Library Edition?
