question about music

[claudia holland <chollan3@xxxxxxx>]

I have a situation where a student dance performance (choreography, 
dancing & filmed by students) has been recorded and the college wants to 
show the recording on the university's local cable network, broadcast 
only to the school community. I've asked for a list of the music used, 
but haven't received it yet. Assuming the music is in copyright, I 
suppose the "safest" decision is to secure public performance rights 
from ASCAP, SESAC or BMI, but first I want to be sure I'm not 
overlooking a justification for a claim of fair use. The broadcast is 
for the purpose of entertainment, not scholarship; no money is being 
made; no additional copies are being manufactured; and presumably this 
use would not have an adverse effect on the value of the music. I don't 
believe a mechanical license is required.

Have I answered my own question? Thoughts appreciated, especially 
whatever I've overlooked.

Thanks,

Claudia Holland
