Hi all,

Does anyone oversee the licensing/ copyright for showing DVDs/streaming in their institutions? I am new to copyright and have been asked if it is legal to show films to groups of students – this would be a personal copy of a DVD brought in by staff or students. It seems such a grey area – I know everyone does it, but my first thought is that it is not really legal. What about showing ‘Frozen’ to a class at primary school ? This isn’t covered by an ERA licence is it? How does your institution manage this?

Thank you for any advice.

Jo
