I am in the process of trying to understand the TEACH Act. In particular, I am trying to decipher the meaning of section 110(2)(D) of copyright law: "[The institution]does not engage in conduct that could reasonably be expected to interfere with technological measures used by copyright owners to prevent such retention or unauthorized further dissemination;"
It would be of great advantage to copy video from DVD in order to make clips for streaming from a media server. However, my understanding is that nearly all video on DVD has some type of digital rights management (DRM). For example, Content-Scrambling System (CSS)is used to prevent the making of a digital copy. It is not difficult to get around CSS when importing the video into a computer for the purpose of making a video clip. But when this is done, the clip no longer contains CSS. If I make a video clip in this manner, am I engaging in conduct that interferes with a technological measure used by the copyright owner? If so, then it seems to me that very little copyrighted video (or audio) can be provided to students according to the TEACH Act. Why? Because nearly all video and music on CD has some form of DRM. And in order to make copies for streaming, one will invariably remove DRM from the medium. So then the TEACH Act is essentially worthless in its provisions to allow the streaming of video and audio? What am I missing?
