What about using video in the classroom?

Good resource for explaining acceptable classroom use of videos/DVDs

Using your personal Netflix account in the classroom is NOT recommended, as it may be illegal

Any faculty use of personal Netflix accounts/streaming in the classroom is likely not legal, according to the Albany Law Review.Your personal Netflix account gives you only a limited, personal and nontransferable license, a licensing agreement which supersedes any exceptions in copyright law.
