How do rights for products sold on PBS Educational Media differ from rights for products sold on the Shop PBS site?
Products sold through the regular Shop PBS site are cleared for at-home, personal entertainment purposes only. While limited use of these programs in schools may be acceptable under federal copyright law, the programs must be used in face-to-face teaching settings only and cannot be displayed in libraries, large group settings, or over closed-circuit in-school networks. The PBS Educational Media site, on the other hand, offers products that may include indexed recordings and other teacher resources, making them the most valuable educational audiovisual resources offered by PBS.
