Mark,
Before everyone interprets your post to mean that streaming 4 minute clips
is an acceptable legal practice, it might be good to detail what your
lawyers and administrators say about this - even if they say nothing at all.
Most people are going to want to be cautious (hopefully), but I realize that
the only way that many of us are going to be reassured is if someone wins a
lawsuit brought by a movie studio. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but at
the same time, I certainly don't want to put myself in danger of that
happening to me.
Thanks,
Ken Romeo

The Berkeley Language Center has created a library of foreign language
clips, each tagged for the vocabulary in the target language and for
English descriptors (culture, linguistics, speech acts). Instructors are
able to search the library for a clip of interest and then 'order' the
clip (a URL is created linking to an mp4 file; the URL stays active for
two weeks). More on our project is available at our wiki
http://dcrf-dev.berkeley.edu/blcwiki-dev/index.php/Library_of_Foreign_Langua
ge_F
ilm_Clips.
Currently we have 5200 clips in 15 languages, and those numbers continue
to grow.
In our case the use of clips of less than 4 minutes duration through
URLs posted on password-protected LMS, available for only two weeks with
complete information on where students can purchase the DVD, and with
intellectual content (the tags) added to the clip thereby transforming
its nature, all speak to a fair use defense of our practice. I think the
case for fair use would be harder to make if we were streaming the
entire film.
For those interested, we will be showing our project at ACTFL in San Diego.
