Can I play these videos in a public space?
Answer
Public performance rights (PPR) are generally included for videos that appear in the streaming collections provided by the CCAC Library. Below are several examples of what is considered an approved form of public performance. These include viewing:
- in a classroom setting
- by student or faculty groups (with no admission charged)
- at on-campus events (with no admission charged)
- by an student or faculty on their personal device
- by a student or faculty at an off-campus location
Examples that would violate terms of service for the streaming collections include viewing:
- at an on-campus event where an admission fee is charged or another form of profit is earned
- at an off-campus location by non-CCAC students or employees
See below for details on the terms of service for the video collections available from the Library.
