Long answer: Question 14.
This was an interesting issue being addressed. I would have not thought that this would be an issue. What is the difference here then if I wanted to show a Disney movie to my cousins while babysitting? What if it’s a daycare? Is it the number of children or could it be the environment? Because its being shown in a school is that not okay? My fraternity hosts a Parents Night Out in the Ricker Addition, where we usually have two Disney movies going at a time, one in the snack room, one in the game room. On top of that we have Disney tunes playing in the movement room so the little kiddos can sing and dance. Most now request High School Musical, but that’s not important. I look now and realize we are most likely breaking many rules by doing this. I was under the impression that you can show movies, as long as it was not for a profit, or was advertised. If the video is being used educationally is that okay? We watched Disney movies in German in German class. Was that acceptable? What about movies that are shown in class? Are they allowed because they are educational? I think there is a really fine line that is reached in regards to videos. It is interesting to address this but its also, as you can tell from this blog, very confusing.
