VIDEO COPYRIGHT AND PUBLIC PERFORMANCE
Each building in our district has a Swank public performance site license that we pay for annually. It allows anyone using our building to legally show movies for entertainment or reward. It covers movies produced by studios listed on the license below and includes most major studios like Warner Brothers, Disney Pixar, MGM, etc. Usually these movies are shown in DVD format.
If a teacher is showing a movie for curricular use in a standards-based lesson, fair use applies and no license is needed.
Streaming services such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. do not offer streaming licenses or subscriptions to schools. Their user agreements forbids public performance and use in schools. So if we show a Disney movie on DVD, the license covers us. If someone wants to play a Disney movie from their personal Disney Plus account at school, that is illegal. That can be frustrating because there is streaming content that is not available on DVD that teachers sometimes want to show, but copyright law does not allow it to be legally shown at school. Our USD 376 Video Copyright and Public Performance policy explains more.
One except is that Netflix allows account holders to show specific documentaries in a school setting. You can find details in the policy document linked above.
