[digital-copyright] RE: Video transmission

["Collins, Geraldine" <gcollins@xxxxxxxx>]

Karen,
Is there a copyright symbol or statement attached to the video?  The sentence
that you noted doesn't sound like anything is prohibited.  If they are
allowing you to broadcast on local t.v. I would think it safe to place in a
Course Management System, using DMCA and TEACH Act guidelines, of course.
Need to be sure that the message is from the copyright owner though.

Subject: [digital-copyright] Video transmission

Hi everybody,
I  have a question related to copyright use. Per instructor request, course
designers would like to use a 25-minute video in the online course.
Much of my background in utilizing video content in courses though the
learning management systems has translated to 1-3 minutes transmission.
However, I am aware that the landscape is changing on these horizons.
On the back of the videotape, it reads, "You can use this videotape to orient
new employees, to educate the community, or to promote your department on
local TV."
Would it be acceptable use to transmit this video in its entirety in a course
management system?
Thank you very much for your time and consideration of my query.
Karen
