What:

Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act is often referred to as the "classroom exception" and generally allows for the public showing of films in "place[s] devoted to instruction," provided certain conditions are met. Does this exception apply to libraries? If so, what are reasonable parameters libraries should follow to ensure film showings don't infringe movie studios' public performance rights? With the ever-growing popularity of library film series, as well as educational considerations of using film for instructional purposes, an understanding of this exception is critical. This webinar will explore reliance on this important exception for libraries.
