[CASL-L] video streaming at school

[Rocca, Jen]

I have not found any legal/ethical way to purchase movies for teachers
other than DVDs. No streaming options seem viable. But here's an option I
hadn't considered before.

We just bought a DVD for our teachers. The DVD came with a digital movie
code. The code would allow us to stream the movie through Movies Anywhere
<https://moviesanywhere.com/welcome>. An overview of what Movies Anywhere
is can be found HERE
<https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/movies-anywhere-ultraviolet-movies-locker-streaming-redeem-faq/>
.

If I made a Movies Anywhere account then teachers would need to use a
username and password to access that service. It should allow them to
stream the video and limit how many people are watching it at once (we only
bought one copy of the movie so only one teacher should be able to view the
movie at a time).

Is there a flaw here I'm not thinking of. I'm reading through the TOS but I
feel like I'm meeting copyright guidelines. Face-to-face instruction. We
purchased the movie. One viewer at a time.

Any thoughts on this? Am I missing something?
