Hi Dylan I'd say the FTF exemption COULD apply if there were no fees involved and if the class were held in a place of regular instruction--i.e. in an institutional classroom or meeting space, not i someone's living room. The video shown must also be a part of instruction (i.e. I don't think showing Home Alone just for the hell of it would count). The item show must, of course, be a legally acquired copy.
Performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the course of face-to-face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction, unless, in the case of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, the performance, or the display of individual images, is given by means of a copy that was not lawfully made under this title, and that the person responsible for the performance knew or had reason to believe was not lawfully made; gary > Dear Collective Wisdom, > > Does the Face to Face Teaching Exception apply to parenting classes? > For example, classes for new foster parents at a public university. > Thanks in advance. > > Dylan > > Dylan Maddox McGinty > > Sales Officer, Accessibility and Digital Enterprises > > National Film Board of Canada > 927 Stanford Street > Santa Monica, CA 90403 > > Tel 310 453 1389 > Fax 310 453 4764 > Mob 347 873 5160 > > 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.
