"Copyright and Fair Use LR"

15. A teacher makes a compilation of movie clips from various VHS tapes to use in his classroom as lesson starters. This is covered under fair use.


-I am having a hard time understanding why this is illegal. If a video is purchased, I believe that the owner has every right to view, and play the video as they want as long as they're not making a profit. This is a teacher taking clips from a movie to provide a more interesting and engaging lesson, not a teacher who is charging students five dollars a piece to watch a video during class. I really disagree with this particular guideline, but completely understand why there is a copyright and fair use policy for digital media.
