The rules governing the showing of copyrighted videotapes are the same as those governing any other copyrighted performance. The broadcast should be shown in the classroom or similar places of instruction.
Copies are subject to all other restrictions.
Recordings do not have to be used in their entirety, but they may not be altered. They may not be physically or electronically merged to create teaching anthologies or compilations. However, they may be viewed as non-public performances. Probably, individuals and small groups of individuals may view a video tape in a study carrel or viewing room, and it will be characterized as a non-public viewing. Student Use for Entertainment Students may want to rent or borrow video tapes to view singly, with friends, with groups or the public.
