 Under the fair use guidelines that address off-air recording for educational
 purposes, instructors are entitled to retain an off-air recording for
 forty-five days, after which time it should be destroyed (erased, re-used).
 These guidelines were developed in 1979 by a Negotiating Committee appointed
 by Congressman Robert Kastenmeier, chairman of the House Subcommittee on
 Courts, Civil Liberties, and Administration of Justice. Such a recording must
 be made at the request of a specific instructor, and cannot be made routinely
 in anticipation of such requests. You may make a limited number of copies to
 meet instructional needs, but may not alter, edit, merge or combine such
 programs. And there's more...
 
 I refer you to the Congressional Record, Oct. 14, 1981, p. E4751. The
 guidelines have also enjoyed WIDE distribution, and can be found in a variety
 of sources. Worth taking a look at--you can legally do a lot less than is
 possible technologically.
