 OK, I've got a request that has me going back and forth, our IT guys have
had language instructors ask to install MyScreenRecorderPro on their office
computers so they can rip videos of the internet for teaching. Some of what
they to do with it:

Record video clips from streaming video to replay in class
Store video clips in an archive for later and repeated use
Use video clips to make new instructional materials using portions of video
And
"I'm sure instructors would come up with plenty of more uses as well.  Also,
I don't think instructional videoclips, for example, in the LEC where I was
filling in last month, should be limited solely to news items, as was then
the case."

Thoughts? I was saying ok to record for use in class, but then started
reading guidelines and started wondering if this would be considered a
legally made or procured copy? Then the archiving for repeated use bothered
me, but then I found where it seems to be common for language instructors to
use material this way...so like I said, I'm going back and forth and could
use some perspective.

Thanks,
Brandy
