Are they in violation of TEACH? Seems like this could be legit, if it's
for distance ed and other provisions are met. I always find it useful
to go straight to the text of the law:

Hi all,
I hate to raise this issue again, but apparently the computer geeks on
campus are streaming movies for faculty in a password protected course
mgt system without bothering to get permission/ license. Does anyone
have a concise summary of why this should not happen?
Many thanks.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
