I am a librarian at a university and a professor is considering sending a 20 minute piece of a video to a student taking the course from a remote location. The student lives a great distance away and takes the course through World Wide Web activities, email, and videoconferencing, but is a registered student. The chunk of video the professor would like to tape and send to the student is part of a 4 volume set with recordings of speeches from an academic conference. He would send the entire speech of just one individual. The student would be asked to destroy the tape or return it to the professor.

Does this sound like a violation of copyright and/or fair use? I apologize if this is not the right for a question like this. Thank you for any help.
