Two Questions

["Miller, Sandra" <MillerS@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here are two questions that we need answers to:
Q: Is it permissible for a professor  to tape a TV program off the air at
home and bring it to school the next day to play it back to the class?
A: This may be the only way  a program can be taped simultaneously with the
broadcast transmission or simultaneous cable retransmission. After the date
of recording, the program must be used during the first 10 consecutive
school days in the 45 calendar day retention period.

Q: A professor wants to record the 6:00AM TV newscast from Channel 2 to use
in class.
A: Newscasts may be recorded, but features such as "60 Minutes" may not be
used without permission.

Would greatly appreciate any responses.
