I think the article comments characterize the issue very well.
Essentially, as I understand it, UCLA has some kind of
student-only-accessible video service that allows professors to host video
(including movies) for the students in their classes, so that they can
screen the video, for which the university has already paid royalties. The
contention is then that this mode of sharing the video violates the
copyright holders' rights, as represented by a trade group.

This is ludicrous. I think. Is the issue that they're posting their videos which include other people's videos or videos of their own lectures, etc?

Perhaps this will be protected by the misrepresentations clause [512(f)] of the DMCA. Extremely frustrating and silly, though. I wonder if the
Open
Video Alliance has caught wind of this. I'll send it through the Free
Culture Pipeline.
