New Copyright Ruling- eSchool news
New copyright ruling affects educators
Higher-ed students, faculty can legally ‘rip’ portions of DVDs for use in media studies
By Meris Stansbury, Associate Editor
Communication and Collaboration, Higher Ed, Top News"The Copyright Office deemed K-12 teachers and students ineligible for the exemption, and instead indicated that they should use only screen captures of a film, because K-12 education doesn’t need access to visually high-quality clips, officials ruled."
