Encyclopaedia Britannica Educational Corp. v. Crooks landmark legal case in the United States in which it was decided that making off-the-air copies of publicly broadcast television programs does not constitute fair use , even if it is intended for a non-commercial and charitable purpose.
Background [ edit ]
The defendant had made off-the-air recordings of television programs with educational content from a publicly broadcast television service. The recordings were then made available to the students of the school district .[1]
Plaintiff [ edit ]
The plaintiffs were Encyclopaedia Britannica Educational Corporation , Learning Corporation of America , and Time-Life Films .
Defendant [ edit ]
The defendants were the Board of Educational Services , First Supervisory District , Erie County, New York [BOCES], and its individual officers and directors. BOCES was created under section 1950 of the New York Education Law for the purpose of providing educational services and specialized instruction on a cooperative basis to the 19 school districts within its geographic region. It is a non-profit organization funded by the 19 school districts.
Decision [ edit ]
The court's decision was as follows:
On June 21, 1982, BOCES was found to be in violation of the law . On March 10, 1983, BOCES was ordered to immediately cease copying and pay the requisite damages to the plaintiff.[2]
The court determined that defendants’ highly organized and systematic practice of making off-the-air videotapes and derivative copies of plaintiffs’ televised copyrighted works did not constitute fair use under the copyright laws .[3]
