I've been told that, as long as I use an original video  (as opposed to
some duplicate copy or a copy taped from television) in a classroom
situation, which is called "face-to-face instruction," and don't charge
money for the screening, it's OK. I hope that's good advice because that's
what all of us who use film in our courses are doing.
