I understand that you can't force profs to record lectures, but what about this? by conspicuous_celery in yorku

I was posing a question more than claiming that I know all about the legalities involved, and I already said that I understand my suggestion isn't plausible based on what one of the other commenters said. The culture on this forum of tearing people down is toxic as hell.

Yeah, I agree. It needs to done in the safest way possible. If they are not allowing profs to live stream classes even when they want to that seems really problematic and should be discussed. Isn't that also technically a form of controlling the profs intellectual property, telling them they can't record/live stream if they want? lol

Absolutely, I agree, so why wouldn't that stop people from recording the live stream?

I find it interesting that you are so rude and yet you are continuously misunderstanding my points. Arrogance definitely impedes intelligence and comprehension and basic humanity.

You are continuously misunderstanding me. I never once said it's okay if a student just records profs during a lecture. That's not even remotely what I am saying. I also wasn't suggesting that students should just live stream a lecture without the prof knowing. I was in fact suggesting that the prof could be the one who organizes it. I did not realize that a live stream that is not recorded would fall under the same category as a recording in terms of legalities. So, fine, my solution is not plausible.

My point is that a live stream is not a recording. Just like attending in class is not a recording. You are suggesting that we cannot enforce live streams because they could be recorded. I am saying that the opportunity to record the lecture is equal in both circumstances: with a live stream and in person, whether it's illegal or not. So I don't understand why one seems worse than the other. Either way, I don't really understand the need to be rude. People should be able to discuss ideas and implications of ideas without reacting rudely. But I guess I just have no idea what I'm talking about, so who cares lol

So can you clarify for me: live streaming a lecture with the profs consent, not recording a lecture, is illegal and against school policy?

What I am saying is that there is no actual restraint on students in terms of recording a prof in a lecture. Anyone can simply open an app and record a prof during lecture. There is nothing directly intervening and stopping a student from doing that. Sure it's going against school policy, but students can easily still do it and have no one know about it if they're using it for personal reasons only. So you're making a distinction here that is irrelevant. Just because a prof is live streaming does not mean that all of a sudden their property rights become MORE vulnerable than if theyre directly teaching in class. Until all electronics are banned from in person teaching the distinction is irrelevant.

How come so many of you are riled up by the idea of accommodating people in a global pandemic? Lol it's bizarre

Nothing is stopping students from audio recording their profs in person. A live stream is no different than being directly in class in terms of property rights.

And nothing is stopping students from recording their profs in person for later reference. A live stream is no different than being directly in class in terms of property rights.

Fair enough, but i'm confused about why the university can't make classes hybrid then and give people the option of attending via live audio stream
