Perhaps the only thing everybody would agree with is that it's going to
be OK to use a film in this way IF one has the explicit permission of
the publisher/producer to do so. Beyond that, there is endless
speculation. I am not extensively experienced in copyright issues. I do
know that there is as much gray as black/white when it comes to making
decisions based of the "Fair Use" provision for educational purposes.
That said, I have never heard anybody give a number of streams that
would make a practice either legal or illegal. My understanding is that
the acceptability of this practice is based on these factors:
-Students must are enrolled in a particular class that is using this
particular film. The name of the film should appear in the course
syllabus.
-This implies that the film may only be available for the duration of
the course.
-It also implies that access is password protected, the password given
out only to registered students in the course.
-It is clear that the institution must own a legal copy of the film in
question.
Again, this is not law, just my "understanding" of how things might be
handled.

I hope you get more responses to your question. I sense that the
"rules" are going to be debated for a long, long time.

We have an instructor who needs (wants) to stream full-length Italian
films. How many simultaneous streams would fall under fair use. I
think
I know the legal answer but was wondering how other instutions handle
this
in practice. If you have done this for a class, I would appreciate
hearing how many simultaneous streams you allow. Joseph
