It is probably more accurate to say that usually the lecture content is
actually the property of the employer as the lecturer was paid to write/develop the
material. Therefore university policy on recording overrides the lecturer's
(probably) unsustainable claim of copyright.
However, this is a bit tricky. Saying the lecturer owns it is possibly more
likely to make the student more understanding and responsible but in the past
some lecturers have refused permission for recording, erroneously citing the
fact that they own the material.
A compromise might be to use the shorthand of lecturer's copyright in the
student advice and clarify the actual position in the staff copy.
