I work for a non profit organization that does abstinence talks in public and private schools as well as some church youth groups.
We use movie and tv clips and top 40 songs to get our message across.
I have read section 107 of the Act and I believe that we do not need licenses. We use these clips for nonprofit eduational purposes, use only portions of movies and tv clips, and I truly doubt our use has any effect on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. However, we do sometimes use full songs.
I am not sure what "the nature of the copyrighted work" means.
Do we need to have any licenses?
Thank you SO much for your responses!
