• What is off-air, cable and satellite recording?
  Copyright law allows educational institutions to record television and satellite broadcast transmissions. However, there are certain restricts on the use:
  
  • During the first ten days from broadcast the recording may be used in the classroom.
  • The program may be retained an additional 35 days for faculty evaluation only and then must be erased.
  • For more details, read Item 4: Rules for Recording and Showing Television Programs in the Stanford University Library's information on Educational Copyright.
  • Should the recording prove to be a useful resource for the classroom, Educational Media Technologies can petition for an off-air recording license or locate a distributor.
    
    Note: Not all programming is available for this "off-air" license.
