To assure that a project is for a legitimate class we may require a student to get authorization from their instructor before starting a project. If the cassette, film or video can be purchased commercially chances are that it is illegal to copy it. This includes shows taped off the T.V. or commercial programs that do not have a copyright warning on them. Contact the Media Center or the Library with questions about the copyright laws. Whenever the privacy of individuals is invaded in the course of recording you must obtain a written release.
Verbal consent is adequate for non copyrighted presentations and non invasive recordings.
