That's all. The laws relating to the specific USES of those clips are another matter altogether. Generally, I think it would be considerably safer to use the clips in, say, a face-to-face classroom presentation, than the uses you cite. On the other hand, if your institution has a somewhat higher tolerance for risk, I'd say putting the clips (a limited number and short) up on a password protected course web site for the short-term might also fly (again...under fair use, not DMCA). gary handman > Would the DCMA "Exemptions from Prohibition on Circumvention of > Technological Measures that Control Access to Copyrighted Works", > Section > 201 (a)(1) title 17, US Code allow a professor to put a short clip > from a DVD on an electronic course page?
