I read your interpretation Dixie.

Everyone is missing:
nonexclusive license

Be sure you understand this and be sure to come to the Open Board Meeting
May 9th at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time
218 862 3242 Dawn's Den, hit 1 twice and then 50.

Joyce,

I  am sorry you feel this way.  This statement is what Attorney Brown   had
suggested and approved.   We were forced to do this to  clarify the  NFB
Krafters
Division responsibility for the  recordings.

And further on you  said:

This statement  clarifies what  the division's rights are
and if you look into the meaning behind   this statement I believe the
teachers
can get their answer too.

The way I see it, in looking into  the meaning of the statement, as you
suggest we do, is:
The agreement  states:  "Classes will be recorded for dissemination to
students that  attend the
class.
This appears to me that:  This section is giving  the NFB KK the right,  to
record the classes and hand them out to the  students who have attended
class.

The next section of the statement  states:
Recordings are provided by the National Federation of the Blind  (NFB)
Krafters Division

In my evaluation of the above section it  appears that this statement is
laying the footwork to ownership of the  recordings.

The NFB KK statement goes on to say:
At the end of  class (all sessions for a given class), the
NFB Krafters Division retains a  nonexclusive license to copy, distribute or
sell recordings in part or as a  whole, including the use for promotional
purposes, without  remuneration.

In my view, this is the clause that hands over all the  instructors rights
as
well as the students' rights of privacy to the  NFB.  It allows them, the
NFB,  to use those recordings any way  they, the NFB, choose to, without
being required to compensate or even ask  for further permission of either
the instructor, or the students who have  been recorded.  It allows for the
NFB   to edit, distribute  the recordings, sell the recordings, post them on
the internet, etc.

So, although as some have mentioned, the entire recording of a class  may
not
be of interest to anyone other than the members of the class, due  to chit
chat etc., the edited versions could be copied, sold, posted on  the
internet, etc.  This is where the problem is lying.  It  appears that is
where the NFB is taking ownership of something in order  that they may use
it
however they may see fit to in the future.

So, Joyce, if that is not the intention of this clause, maybe you can  see
how it appears to be coming across, and maybe it is not to be in our  best
interest?
