We pay for two licences that allow teachers to
rent or bring from home, feature length movies and legally show them in
the classroom without breaking copyright. Once you have viewed the movie just record the title
and producer (studio) on the sheet provided with the VCR./DVD player. As part of
our licencing agreement we must send these user sheets back to the two
companies involved. Educational videos that individuals borrow from
the IMC have already been purchased with public performance rights and
users are not required to record this information on the Video Usage
Forms. For more details click here. |

Copyright
Information |
|
|
All
schools in Canada are governed by the copyright law. It
protects the rights of creators to be paid for, and to control
the use of their works. It is important to know that a
copyright law exists and that teachers and students are
obliged to abide by the law. It is a criminal offence to break
copyright law even if this is done for non-profit and/or
educational purposes. Teachers illegally duplicating copyright
materials or using illegally-produced copies of materials MUST
stop this practice immediately. This includes the copying and
using of print material excluded from the CANCOPY agreement,
taping of audiocassettes, showing videocassettes obtained from
home or video stores that are not covered under licences, and
television programs taped off-air.
The Board will take
any breaches of copyright very seriously. In addition to any
actions that might be taken by a copyright owner, the Board
will hold employees and students who knowingly and willingly
infringe on copyright legislation or licencing agreements
personally accountable for the illegality of this behaviour.
The Board may seek compensation including any legal expenses,
cost, settlements or rewards resulting for the breach of
copyright. Individuals who breach copyright or licences may be
restricted or prohibited from use of Board equipment and
resources. The legal or insurance protection of the Board will
not be extended to employees who violate these laws.
