Library Copyright Guidance: Audio-Visual Material
Film and sound recordings (e.g. CDs, DVDs, videos) in the Library's collections may not be copied by users under fair dealing for private study or research, or under SOAS's Copyright Licensing Agency licence (see Photocopying Library material). For example, it would not be lawful for a Library user to borrow a video, take it home and copy a segment for their own private use, even if their purpose was non-commercial research.
In some circumstances, it may be lawful for users to copy short extracts for the purpose of reproducing the extract in another work: see Reproduction of Library materials.
