In regard to the search for old episodes of Televison broadcasts. To wit,
the original post dealt w/ a teacher seeking to show these videos in a
class. Do the purchase of videos of this sort include the right to show the
program for an audience or public performance? Or, are educational
instituitions exempt from paying fees for movies or videos in the class
room? And, does it matter if the video is no longer commercially available?
Thanks.
