Video can only be used if it is directly related to the lesson the
teacher is teaching and used in a direct face to face teaching
environment. Rewards and filling time are not acceptable unless you
have a license. If they are viewing Shrek and you allow it through your
firewall/filter, then you possibly could be held accountable as well as
the teacher. Since we don't have a license (Supt. wouldn't spring for
the $750) I have blocked Netflix here. If the teacher wants to bring in
Shrek and show it, then it is on their shoulders if the District gets
fined. I believe it is $750 per incident. Of course, the odds of being
caught are slim, but I like to follow the CYA theory.

We are allowing it (for teacher logins only). They were able to
convince the librarians that copyright wasn't being violated.
Apparently, there are free educational videos that subscribed members
have access to and are allowed to play in class.
However, whether they're watching those shows or Shrek, I don't know.
