DUPLICATION, LICENSING, AND PUBLIC PERFORMANCE OF VIDEOTAPES: FAQs

Under what conditions may we duplicate copies of videotapes for educational use only?
All titles listed in our catalog are protected by international copyright law. No film or video in our catalog may be duplicated, altered, broadcast, electronically transmitted, digitized, edited, or shown with an admission fee without our prior written permission. Violation of copyright laws is a federal crime; it is also unethical.

Customers who have previously purchased VHS copies of our titles may take advantage of our special “backup” pricing and request additional copies for a fee of $75 per copy. This ensures that all copies are of premium quality.

May we make an archival copy?
No. We do not allow copying for archival purposes. However, customers who have previously purchased VHS copies of our titles may take advantage of our special “backup” pricing and request additional copies for a fee of $75 per copy.

Are Public Performance Rights included in the purchase of UC Berkeley Extension: Center for Media and Independent Learning (CMIL) videos?
Yes, but this is limited to educational public performance rights. Educational public performance rights include any non-commercial screening to a group for educational purposes. Screenings which involve an admission fee require a special license and, often, a licensing fee.
Permissible screenings include face-to-face teaching in settings where face-to-face teaching normally takes place. Professors may also place videos “on reserve” in the library for individual student viewings, e.g. in library carrels

In addition, non-commercial screenings (of a physical videocassette) are permitted at public places with or without the presence of instructors, even outside of regular, systematic instructional activity.

However, educational public performance rights do not include the right to transmit videos by analog or digital means by broadcast, open-cable, direct-broadcast satellite, the Internet, or by any other “open to the public” means, nor to any off-campus or distance learning site.

May we broadcast videotapes on an educational closed-circuit TV channel within our institution or school?
We allow closed-circuit dissemination within your institution provided that it is used solely for face-to-face teaching purposes in places where face-to-face teaching normally occurs, e.g., classrooms or lecture halls. Closed-circuit use in places not normally used for face-to-face teaching---such as dormitory rooms, cafeterias, or student lounges---is not permitted.

Similarly, closed-circuit transmission to another campus or distance-learning site is not permitted.

May we disseminate videos on an educational TV channel on a community cable system?
No. Such dissemination is not legal.

May we disseminate videos for distance learning purposes or courses?
No. Please see Copyright Restrictions section. See also Public Performance Rights section.

May we make copies for the purpose of closed and/or open captioning?
Educational institutions that have previously purchased VHS copies of our titles may request permission to produce one (1) closed or open captioned version of a title, provided that both prior written permission and a special license have been obtained from us. For questions and additional information, please contact us at 510-642-0460.

May we circulate videos to other institutions through interlibrary loan?
Yes. We do not require any license for interlibrary loans, as long as the copy you are loaning has been purchased from us, and the institution that you are loaning the video to understands and observes the copyright restrictions outlined in this document.

Whom may I call or contact for more information about duplication, licensing, and public performance of videotapes?
Please contact Richard Wilson at 510-642-0460. You may also fax your questions or requests to 510-643-9271, or email us at ucmedia@ucxonline.berkeley.edu.
