<p>If a school purchases the license, they may record (by a professional or amateur) and charge “reasonable rates” for copies (my D’s school does this- DVDs of shows are $12) Schools are also allowed in most regular show agreements to record for “archive purposes”, even with without the license. (which as noted is fairly pricey) At my school, I do the shows, and we record for archive, and one copy goes in the library. I always tell parents that it is available for check out, and of course I have no power on what they do on their own computers…</p>
<p>But many videos that you see on YouTube etc are being shot “illegally”, and lots of theaters turn a blind eye… but every once in a while someone gets bitten in the backside by that.</p>
