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. An overview of what Movies Anywhere is can be found
HERE.
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?
