Also for the record you could not broadcast the film even if it were on
campus only. Anything other than a standard "face to face" which means that
it is part of curriculum and LIMITED TO THE STUDENTS IN THAT CLASS (i.e. not
listed or promoted to anyone else on the campus) would be a violation of
copyright.
