I'm curious. Using your personal subscription to Hulu, or Netflix, etc. to show something in class does not infringe copyright law? In this case, since one does not own the material, one has to follow the terms of use of the service. Since these services clearly say for personal use, I don't think a faculty can use it in class. Am I wrong?

It is currently available, along with a lot of Criterion films, on Hulu Plus. I sent a general inquiry about streaming to Jon Mulvaney of Criterion mulva...@criterion.com and he replied by referring me to Hulu Plus: "Institutional streaming licenses are not available at this time. I do hope you will find helpful that many of our titles can be streamed on Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/criterion). Additionally anyone signing-up on Hulu Plus with a .edu email address will get their first month free of charge." I would assume that the instructor could use a subscription to show it in the classroom, but that students would have to buy a subscription to watch at home. This is not a bad deal for film majors.The trick is that not all Criterion films are available all the time. Maybe Hulu could guarantee that a particular one would be available for a particular term.
