*Copyrighted work can be used for educational purposes, however the person or institution that is responsible for copyright violations is the duplicator not the user.  The the Media Center has no control of the duplicated work once the user takes possession therefore Media Center cannot duplicate copyrighted material.   Commercial Copyrighted DVDs often have copy protection on them that take specific programs of questionable legality to get around the copy protection.  The Media Center does not have any programs that defeat the copy protection of protected DVDs.
