The copyright has been a popular subject of talks. However, it's my first time to read it.
I'm surprised to know that it's not "fair" for a teacher to play a DVD of a currently shown movie in class for students' entertainment after exams were over. The law states that it's not fair dealing because it is a currently shown movie and it was not used for an educational purpose. How about if I play a DVD of an old movie, is it fair?
Campus TV is common among schools. When producing the programme, music or video are always included. So if we play the campus TV program to our students, is it legal?
It seems that there're a lot of traps.

I realized that we can't play DVD movies to students at school few years ago, I was shocked at that time coz all of my colleagues did so especially in the post exam period. Then I asked the library teacher about it. He said that we could only play 1/10 of the movie. But how can we just play 1/10 of the movie and then stop it? So weird.
If we don't play it for entertainment, it will be fine. Can we have quizzes after watching the films? =P
