The streaming videos in the Library’s databases are licensed for instructional purposes in a classroom setting. The following collections also include public performance rights (PPR), meaning the films can be displayed on campus to the public so long as the screening is free. The screening need not be for instructional purposes. For example, it is permissible for a student club or other college organization to host a screening of a film with PPR.
Academic Video Online
Academic Video Online allows public performances as long as no admission is charged. See Academic Video Limited Public Performance Rights.
EXCEPTION: Film Platform videos do not include PPR. To determine if an individual film is copyrighted by Film Platform:

Commercial sites such as Amazon Prime, Disney+, Google Play, HBO, Hulu, iTunes, or Netflix license their content for personal use, not educational use.
