The school's movie day was definitely in violation of copyright laws. From trying to plan movie events, I have ran into movie viewing rules myself. It is to my understanding from discussion in class and through experience that a license is required to view movies in large quantities of people.
1. The first issue is that I don't think this case has to do with stealing business from movie theaters, it has to do with what I mentioned above, that there will probably be viewing violations depending on how many students view the movies.
2. In this situation, I do not think the students will be using these movies for another purpose. As said in the description, the purpose was for lounging and viewing the movie, as movies are intended.
3. Using these movies in an educational setting, there needs to be something taught from the viewing of the movie. The titles of the movies were not given, maybe they were provided with some sort of educational basis, but I am unsure given the context.
I can't think of any more specifics, but I'm sure there are some.
Well done!
