We have purchased (legally) copies of 2 videos to be shown in one of our
courses, but our department wants to make transcripts of the video and have
them translated (we teach in 3 languages) for use by class room interpreters
and students while viewing the video. Since we can show the videos in class -
the assumption is that we can make transcripts and translations without
seeking permission from the copyright owners. I'm hesitant to say OK given
that the translations are derivatives works. Any ideas? Anyone else run into
this before?



Any pointers or references would be greatly appreciated.
