[LM_NET] movies & "home viewing" statement

[Maren Stahle <MStahle@WEST-BEND.K12.WI.US>]

I recently had a teacher ask me if it is ok to show a commercial DVD or video tape 
to a class that has the "home viewing only" segment statement at the beginning of 
the movie. The teacher who asked this question will be teaching a class that will 
be evaluating movies in class called "Film as Social Criticism". Do we need to ask 
for permission to show such movies in a face to face curriculum. Also, can we 
legally show movies in class that have the home viewing only statement that are 
borrowed from the public library or a commercial lending library, such as 
Blockbuster? We currently have a license through Movie License USA
 
TIA
