[CALIBK12] copyright infringement

[Janice Polochko]

I emailed the person in charge and she assured me she would be calling to get permission. But now I wonder if she was looking for homemade videos. Thanks for your input. It was good back-up for me.

I can't believe that a TV station doesn't know and want to follow copyright laws. if you comply with this request you would be aiding and abetting. In theory you could go to jail with them.
Most educational videos have limited public performance rights. These usually allow public performance inside a school, such as in the cafeteria or on a bus trip. (Fair use already allows use in the classroom as part of curriculum.)  Your videos do not come with the rights to broadcast them to the outside. The TV station would have to negotiate for those rights.

Hi This is an email I just received from our local access channel. It is run through the high school yet is separate. They are looking for material for the new educational channel. Do you think this is breaking any copyright law by using the videos I have purchased for the school and live here in the library?"Hey there. TTCTV Channel 6, Channel 24 is looking for educational videos to fill some air time.  If you have any math, reading, nutrition, music, ESL videos that we could digitize for playback let me know.  They should be educational in nature, without overt advertising. "

Thanks for your help,
Jan
