Re: [Videolib] Public Performance Rights for Clips?
Re: the audio aspect At our institution we have a blanket license for using music in public events such as graduations and so forth. It covers happy birthday and we are the champions and other top media wonders. I'm not sure if that is limited by format, I.e. if it only means played from an audio recording or live vs. a song coming from the Independence Day video DVD. I think it covers all of it.

The only issue I can see is if it was say a 3 minute clip from a 5 minute film and also beware of music issues. If for some reason there is an entire or most song in a clip then you could have issues.

One of our faculty members wants to give a speech for an event at the university. She knows she needs to get public performance rights for videos she wants to show during her speech.
