AUDIOVISUAL

**Educational exemptions are described within the law. The focus is upon adaption, unauthorized copies and lost profits ** **from unauthorized performances. Performance can be construed as simple display. **

**Public performance needs one of these things: **
 * **Permission from copyright owner **
 * **License from rights broker **
 * **Payment of royalties **

**Showing TV programs live if you’re a subscriber is allowed. **

**Be aware that changing a video to VHS to DVD format is adaptation and is prohibited! **

**Public performance: Any ‘performance’ is public. Playing an MP3 player on speakers could be considered a public performance. ****In certain circumstances a license is required. **

**Display means to show a copy. You can, however, perform or display works in face-to-face teaching in a classroom. ** **Distribution of video:

If a recording is owned by the library, please submit a lesson plan showing the link between the video and curriculum.

If the recording was rented, make sure to observe Fair Use requirements.

For off-air recordings submit verification of compliance with the guidelines to the library.

Except in a very few circumstances, conversions of any kind are prohibited. **    = **<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Non-instructional video viewing is NOT permitted for purposes such as: ** =
