Comment The law says RECORDINGS not notes. (Score 1) 195
Somebody please correct me if I am mistaken, but when I read the law it refered to recordings.
Does not "recording" imply that you write down exactly what the professor says. Therefore summarizing the lecture and selling it should still be legal. So why is this law neccessary. Since the teacher's lecture is already copyrighted, would you not be violating copyright law if you "recorded" his or her lecture and sold it.any contemporaneous recording of an academic presentation in a classroom or equivalent site of instruction by an instructor of record. This prohibition applies to a recording made in any medium, including, but not necessarily limited to, handwritten or typewritten class notes.
