The third case is clear violation because there would be public
listings and it is NOT limited to the students enrolled in the class
Please tell the dear prof THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AS EDUCATIONAL
EXEMPTION OR USE. There is only "fair use" for portions of a work
or "Face to Face" exemption for legally obtained copies to be
shown IN A SPECIFIC CLASS to students enrolled in the class
If there were such a thing as "educational use" it would hardly be limited
to video. You could copy any books or magazines you wanted so long
it was for "educational use" You could perform plays and music
without paying royalties so long as it was for "educational use".
Sorry to rant but it is frustrating that it so hard for professors
who I believe should RESPECT the rights of artists and creators of these
works but somehow see video/DVD as something not worthy of the same value
as a book or play
