Can schools make recordings of radio or television programmes for showing to students?
Yes. The Copyright Ordinance has already contained provisions which allow schools to make recordings of radio or television programmes, to a reasonable extent, for the purposes of instruction without obtaining the consent of copyright owners. However, such acts must not conflict with the normal exploitation of the works by copyright owners or unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of copyright owners.However, if schools can obtain a licence for the relevant program through an established licensing scheme, schools must first obtain the licence before recording and showing the programme.
