__Using Video__ //The Classroom Exemption, under Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act, applies to traditional classroom settings, where the teacher and students are in the same location during a live class session. Educators and students are permitted to perform and display copyrighted audiovisual works in a classroom (or a similar place devoted to instruction – such as a library), as long as such use is in the course of face-to-face teaching activities at a non-profit educational institution. The instructor must be present during the performance and no admission or other fees can be charged to students for viewing the program. If all of the conditions of the Classroom Exemption are met, **it is permissible to show a legally obtained program in a classroom or school library without obtaining permission from the copyright owner, even if labels like “For Home Use Only” appear on the packaging. The Classroom Exemption supersedes these written warnings of the copyright holder.**//
