From: "Hamaker, Charles" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:08:35 +0000 We've had some faculty discover the website of DocuWatch and are asking about how legal it is to use it in classroom settings, course management systems, syllabi, etc. Does anyone know if DocuWatch has the rights to stream the videos they provide? We can't find anything on the web about the site other than mostly hype about the titles. Any information would be helpful in evaluating the legality of the videos they are providing. They specialize in documentaries, including PBS station content not available via streaming video from other sources. The lack of critical commentary or mention from any source that might provide insight into its legitimacy via a standard google search is notable. What is the general feeling about just linking to a web site of unknown copyright legality? Or displaying video from an online source without knowing about its legality, in an institutional setting for educational purposes? Thanks Chuck Hamaker
