Thanks Cathy. Great to have a scholarly work specifically on the topic instead of us speculating. Hopefully I'm not violating any copyrights by copying an excerpt but if you don't want to read all 22 pages the conclusion is (Page 235):
In the case of a streaming Netflix video, the copy is made in the classroom by the educator as the Netflix account holder in the context of public utilization of the streaming account for the benefit of students and the institutioin. Since any copy, even an ephemeral one, made other than for "personal use" is outside the grant of rights under the Terms of Use. The user may be violating both copyright and applicable contract law by creating the classroom copy, which would therefore not be "lawfully made." As the classroom exception in 110(a) requires the use of a lawfully made copy, the exception would be inapplicable, and absent another exception or defense, the instructor would be violating the Copyright Act by showing the Netflix-streamed video in class.

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.
