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<http://www.michaelgeist.ca/2012/06/warman-v-fournier-copyright/> 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
