Q. Can I show video that I recorded from TV in lectures?

Yes you can. 

Under the University’s license with Screenrights (mandated by section 113P of the Copyright Act), you are allowed to record television broadcasts (including free-to-air, cable, and satellite) and radio broadcasts, for educational purposes. The license offers the advantage of allowing extra copies to be made.

To comply with the license, the video needs to be labeled with the following, whether on the item (eg DVD), on the cover, on the webpage near the video's link (or the embedded video), or inserted into the start of the video file:

• Copied for the University of Wollongong, under section 113P of the Copyright Act 1968.
• This program was transmitted on [date, time & channel].
• This copy was made on [insert date].

Make sure you're playing the video for educational purposes related to the current course, and that only staff and students involved in that course are present.
