Special Topics in Copyright: Showing Movies on Campus and in the Classroom

Showing movies on campus and in the classroom, whether physical or virtual, requires consideration of several provisions of the Copyright Act as well as potential licensing restrictions from film distributors and streaming services. During this webinar, we will tackle questions about public performance, streaming video, and the DMCA exemptions allowing the “ripping” of DVDs. Attendees will leave with strategies to employ when responding to the demand for showing films at campus events and in the physical and virtual classroom.
