Purchase Youtube Videos

[foofighterjim]

I've just been asked by a member of staff if they can purchase videos from Youtube, for use in the classroom. I can't see this elsewhere on this site which means that the answer is probably obvious (to everyone except me). I know that we are unable to use streaming services due to their T&Cs, but reading the YouTube terms, there is an additional line that has made me stop to think:

 

5. Licence

After completing a transaction or paying the applicable fees for a Paid Service, you may access and use that Paid Service, for your personal, non-commercial use only, and as long as you comply with the Terms and the law. Your license to the Paid Services (including any content offered through the Paid Services) is non-exclusive and all rights, title and interest in the Paid Services not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by Google and its licensors. You agree not to use any Paid Service, in whole or in part, in connection with any public presentation even if no fee is charged (except where such use would not constitute a copyright infringement).

My reading of the above statement is that there may be a case for this except for this statement on the DfE Copyright Licenses page:

 

The licences don’t cover:

 

• images on websites, unless the website is covered by the CLA or NLA Media Access – you can check using CLA’s Check Permissions tool
  
• content accessed directly from YouTube
  
• some extra-curricular activities, for example showing films to a paying audience; please contact the relevant organisation

So effectively, YouTube say it is possible but the standard DfE Copyright license does not cover us for this. Do I have this correct?

My reading of that is that YouTube is not part of the DfE Licence Scheme.

 

The T's&C's of Youtube are that their Paid Service is for "personal use only" and that

 

You agree not to use any Paid Service, in whole or in part, in connection with "any public presentation" even if no fee is charged (except where such use would not constitute a copyright infringement).

 

Can't they just use streaming YouTube the same as everybody else?

No, they actually wanted to purchase a film for the curriculum, it isn't just on standard YouTube (nor In To Film unfortunately). It would be nice to not worry about providing disk drives if we could get rid of the dependency on DVDs.

 

As mentioned about YouTubes terms, they are basically saying; if you have a license you can use it. The standard DfE license does not cover it though (assuming I am correct).

Is this film created by the channel it is published on i.e. a film created by a YouTuber?

If so, it may be worth your contacting them directly and asking.

It is just Jane Eyre (2011) is the main one they are looking to purchase, it isn't available to stream on Into Film.

Ah, I see what you mean now.

Could this be of help? - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/copyright-licences-information-for-schools

The DVD is only £5.99 on Amazon.

This could solve it, the version linked is a series but they actually have the 2011 film on their streaming platform too. Just to note, I had no idea the ERA provided a streaming service.
