I have never really worried to much about the copy infingement aspect of this issue. At our school we are more concerned about the privacy issues.
We have a form for students to get permission to have their picture on the webpage or in the newspaper. We have several parents that do not want those pictures made available to the public for various reasons. Maybe they are afraid of pedophiles seeing thier kid, or maybe the student is a foster child, and they don't want the parent to know where the child is.
We take this very seriously at our school and check our forms before anything is published. I don't believe that anyone has considered the idea of parents taking pictures or videos and posting them on the internet. This is something that we will definately have to look into further.
If some breaks copyright rules, there will be a cease and decist order issued and the video will be removed, nto a huge deal. If an abusive parent finds where their child has been placed and shows up to get them, this is a much larger issue.
