Abstract

In many instances academics use particular videos that have been downloaded from the internet in their teaching and learning materials without considering the copyright implications. While one may argue a fair dealing defense when these videos are used in the classroom for illustration purposes, criticism or review – however under certain circumstances, the defense will fail if the academic has uploaded that presentation or similar teaching materials, containing those videos, to the web. It is important to be aware of the terms and conditions attached to usage of video hosting sites to ensure you acting within the boundaries of the law. I have looked at 5 popular video hosting websites' terms of use and will highlight the most important aspects I think people should be aware of not just for the copyright related implications but also for privacy related reasons.
