hi deg
Seems to me that what's being described does not fit very comfortably
within the CCUMC guidelines ... the guidelines seem to address using
intellectual property in transformative ways: i.e. incorporating
copyrighted media within the context of other intellectual "products"
created by the user ...
When push comes to shove, I think the big clamor is for being able to
make compilations of clips to use in teaching, either synchronously
or asynchronously (e.g. via course web sites etc.). These needs and
wants aren't really addressed in the guidelines.

Gary
What you are describing falls completely within the Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia, the only set of guidelines to officially emerge from the CONFU hearings a few years ago.
Key to these guidelines is that additional material is being added. The guidelines also speak to “safe harbor” portion limits, number of copies that can be made, retention period, etc.
For those interested... The full text of the guidelines, and more, are available on the Consortium of College and University Media Centers website: http://www.ccumc.org under the Copyright and Intellectual Property link. (Full disclosure, one of the items linked is the PowerPoint presentation Stan Diamond and I developed to summarize the Guidelines.)

Subject: Re: [Videolib] clips and copyright
huh?
Because it's not "transformative" (thank you very much, Jessica) -- a multimedia project presumably uses these clips in an original intellectual or academic context...
Simply ripping clips from copyrighted DVDs onto another DVD for convenience sake is something quite different. In pulling this off, you'd have to apply the
1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes,
2. The nature of the copyrighted work,
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and,
4. The effect upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
My guess is that taking a limited number of short clips for short-term use in the classroom would hold up as fair use. Keeping this compilation around forever is another matter. As I was trying to say in this article, there is this issue of "spontaneity" sewn into the copyright law...
Anyone else want to weigh in?
