When might schools or libraries consider obtaining licensing in order to use “home use only” videorecordings for public performance?
When they want to show videorecordings in any situation outside of the definition of “home-use-only” or, in the case of schools, outside of the definition of the “face-to-face teaching exemption.” For example, a public library would need public performance rights to show a videorecording to staff in an in-service workshop, to children during story hour, or to a community group meeting. A school would need public performance rights for a videorecording to be shown for entertainment in place of recess on a rainy day, or for after-school programs, or as a reward.
