HELP! I need an online source for a teacher... An entire grade left on a field trip to the state capital at about 9 am, and a student teacher was sent to obtain videos from the library for the trip. I mentioned to her about how most of the videos we have here are curriculum related, and if she wanted a "movie" for the trip, then she should have requested such from our district media center, but that it still needed to be curriculum related to be shown on the bus. She took a few of our " books turned into movies" VHS tapes, ( we have very few DVD's in house) . Well, anyway, I get a call from one of the teachers , WHILE ON THE BUS, wanting to know what the deal was with not watching movies, etc... I said, well it is a copyright thing, ( he caught me off guard) . He wants the code stating they cannot legally show movies on the bus, and of course he wants it NOW. I've found several sources referring to Section 110 of copyright law, as well as sites which list the rules for classroom fair use. I've got http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#110 but I need a source which clearly indicates that viewing videos on a bus ( field trip) , unless public performance rights are included, does not constitute face to face instruction, or that the bus is not an extension of the school/non-profit organization. Can anyone help, before 1:30 pm, NJ Time?
