For UBC we say that embedding isn’t infringement as it is not making a copy BUT we also mention in our guides that some content will be uploaded that is covered
under copyright and that the person needs to consider the content uploaded when embedded. For example, if the newest superhero flick is on Youtube that would definitely be in contravention of copyright.

Oh now I’m perking up. Anyone else have legal advice like this? The embed has so much more appeal than a link to students!

Hi Lauri,
We don’t consider embedding a resource as an infringement because we are not making a copy. I had to ask this question quite early on and this is
the answer that I received from our General Counsel.

Subject: [Bcoel] Embedding restricted videos in an open textbook or other OER
Hi Everyone,
Our Open Ed group has a question about the legality of
embedding resources that are copyrighted with "all rights reserved" into an open textbook, or other OER. This would be done without obtaining permission from the creator of the resource.
It is our understanding that
linking to a "restricted" resource within an open textbook is permissible (and frequently practiced). However, does anyone know if embedding a a restricted video is also legally allowed?
Thanks,
Lauri
