[Technical] RE: [Offtopic] Request re DVD storage on schoolnetwork

[Jason Clarke]

I love the confusion with copyright and schools.

 

We're allowed to copy it, in any form, if its for educational use.

Except when its a DVD with copy protection measures.

The only time copy protection measures are mentioned are when its a DVD.

Yet if we can find it produced commercially in another format (say,
Netflix or similar)it doesn't preclude circumvention. Or at least not
that I've seen.

 

Its a god-awful mess and I don't blame anyone for being confused. 

 

Cheers,

 

J

I think this probably covers more specifically the question of ripping
DVDs to a streaming system:

 

http://www.copyright.org.au/information/cit005/cit073/wp0042

 

Essentially, you can't with any protected titles  i.e.   pretty much
every commercial DVD.

Hi Folks,

 

 A  question on video streaming solutions schools may have adopted if I
may.

 

 Just wondering if anyone has any advice on the legality of placing a
DVD ( movies, documentaries etc ) on the school network to make
available for students to view when they wish to .

 Do we have a legal problem in that this is deemed copying ? What is the
difference between viewing the movie on a computer screen through the
DVD drive or through a network hard drive ?

 If so what solutions have schools used to make DVDs available through
the normal school network ?

 Any strengths/weaknesses of particular products or pricing would be
welcome.

 

Best Wishes
