Fair Use on YouTube

-- 

Hi all,


My principal has created a private YouTube channel with various videos of
her reading aloud to post to our families only.  At the beginning of each
recording, she has mentioned the author, illustrator & publisher to give
credit before reading.  Is there anything else she needs to be doing to
make sure she's covered her bases or is she ok under Fair Use here?


She got the following email shared with her and is now concerned:


I follow Julia Cook on FB and she recently posted this....would be
important for folks to know...

Hundreds of people have asked me
“Can I videotape myself reading your books and use them with online
lessons?”
YES! But you must use a looped system to do this such as Seesaw or Zoom so
that it is accessible to your kids and families only. It is illegal to post
these videos on Instagram, YouTube or Facebook Live. Please also remember
to state the title and the author. Please be respectful and responsible
with this request. More help coming from me soon. Love, Julia
