Since the site and video seem entirely focused on music, it also seems
clear that it's RIAA backed.  A good copyright information campaign
should include mention of movies, TV shows, text, images and software in
addition to music.


It wouldn't hurt to mention the work your library or other copyright officer
does on clearing copyright for all those course materials and handouts given
out by professors, whether in print or electronically. Students assume a "fair
use" interpretation somewhat broader than actually exists, and we aid that
misinterpretation with our use of the photocopier.
