Melissa,

Peter Jaszi and the Center for Social Media at American University have
created a series of Codes of Best Practices in order to establish
standards for Fair Use. They also have links to Best Practice codes from
other organizations. Since the codes are not all collected on one page,
I've compiled a list with URLs below:

  * Best Practices in Fair Use of Dance-related Materials

  Hi Claudia - I think you answered your own question.
  
  I'm hoping to work next semester on a simple guide to getting music rights for
  university environments for our website- is anyone aware of such a guide.
  Very very simple so students and faculty feel some confidence in using it.
  
  Thanks -Melissa Levine

    To:     "digital-copyright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"          <digital-copyright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>    From: claudia holland     <chollan3@xxxxxxx>    Subject: question about music
    Message-id:     <4CD8652C.9080307@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
