recorded tv programs on reserve

← Return to forum

  • Oops, I posted this question by mistake in a response to another subject. Sorry. I have an instructor who has recorded a television program and wants to place the recording on reserve each time she teaches a specific course. Is this violation of copyright? It seems like it should be but I went to a workshop on copyright and it made me question much of what I know about copyright. Thanks
  • I think your question was pretty much answered in the previous post you accidently replied to. The guidelines (not the law) state that the recording may only be retained for 45 days and then you should request permission to retain the copy. So this should be okay for the semester in which the recording is made, but subsequent uses would require permission. And as always, if there is a license involved, all terms of the agreement should be considered.
