It might infringe on CONTRACT law in that in you stated it was for personal use to obtain the service, I don't believe it would not infringe on copyright law since it is a legal copy being shown in a classroom ( as opposed to being streamed to a students computer directly by the university). However since the school seems to want streaming rights to show OUTSIDE the classroom i assume the idea would be to have them open their own HULU accounts and get it that way.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
