Can UK-based students borrow recordings?
Yes. Registered students (including UK-based distance learning students) may borrow and take off-site a licensed recording on cassette, CD or DVD. As this may reduce licensees’ ability to ensure adherence to Licence terms and conditions, ERA recommends that you ask students to sign a declaration to confirm the material will be used only for legitimate non-commercial educational purposes. This does not authorise the making of multiple copies of recordings, for example authorising copying onto memory sticks used by individual students. However, off site streamed access to recordings by all students in a class or on a course may be licensed under the new ERA Plus Licence.
